Chances are this freakish creature has shown up somewhere in your feed this week.
Is this Diplocaulus fake? Or are we looking at a real creature? - http://www.funnytoviral.com/is-this-diplocaulus-fake-or-are-we-looking-at-a-real-creature/ …
While it looks like a cross between a giant salamander and a boomerang, you might be surprised to find out that what you're looking at is in fact a real animal – except it went extinct some 270 million years ago.
The photograph, which has been shared widely on various media platforms over the years, isn't of a living creature; Instead, it shows a beautiful model of Diplocaulus, created by Japanese sculptor Goro Futura.
These large amphibians roamed the earth from the Carboniferous Period (360 million years ago) into the late Permian, spending their days cruising shallow waters and likely dining on insects and fish. That bizarre head might look completely alien, but it's a shape we still see in nature today. Just look at the mata mata turtle (Chelus fimbriatus):

Penis snake’ discovered in Brazil is actually a rare species of amphibian
A creature discovered by engineers building a dam in the Amazon is a type of caecilian, a limbless amphibian that resembles an earthworm or as some are noting, part of the male anatomy.
The animal was discovered while draining a portion of the Madeira River — a major tributary of the Amazon — for a controversial hydroelectric project. Six individuals were found according to biologist Julian Tupan, who identified the species as Atretochoana eiselti. Little else is known about the species, although it is thought to be aquatic and lacks lungs, breathing through its skin instead

the axolotl is a small salamander that can be found in various lakes around Mexico City, although it is currently listed as an endangered species. This amphibian can regenerate limbs, has lidless eyes, and can be black or albino.
