Real-Life Vampires


[Edit]
10 Blood-Sucking Beasties|
There is a lot more to Vampires than just Count Dracula--or, if you’re a fan of the cartoon, Count Duckula. A vampire is a mythological creature who feeds on the blood of the living. Keep your garlic at the ready: Here are some deadly real-life vampire animals to make you shudder. They include the vampire monkey, a Chinese species that lives solely on other animals’ blood; the vampire bat; the vampire moth, which can pierce through human skin to get its fill of blood; and the mosquito. You’ll also see the vampire squid, which is surely the stuff of SpongeBob’s nightmares; the red-billed oxpecker, which feasts on fresh rhino wounds; and the vampire shark. Via: newanimal.org |
