This animal might have a shocking appearance but it is neither a penis nor is it a snake. It is an amphibian that was recently rediscovered in 2011 while part of a river in South America was being drained. Little is known about these animals but their appearance might come off as disturbing or hilarious, depending on how you feel about this creature. They are limbless and generally navigate by utilizing their sense of smell. Due to lack of information about the animal, it is classified as “Data Deficient” by the International Union For Conservation of Nature. The penis snake has a scientific name, Atretochoana eiselti, so if you think this is some kind of a gag you can rest assured that this creature is real.
