      In short, a variety of different living environment and long-term evolution, creating such a rich natural species.

      According to the Boredpanda website, most of these creatures are from Yu Haiyang, who use the "invisible" way to protect themselves.

      American scientist Sonke Johnsen said that those in the ocean can not rely on teeth, toxins, speed and other advantages to protect their own biological, have a certain ability to protect themselves invisible.

      Wide profile angusticeps silk butterfly (scientific name: Greta oto), also known as the glass wing butterfly, a species belonging to the Nymphalidae, is a tropical butterfly.

      Transparent squid live in the southern hemisphere in the marine environment, its scientific name is called "Teuthowenia pellucida", with its eyes on the optical organs, and has the ability of his body disc into a ball, like a hedgehog like aquatic. It is the prey of many deep-sea fish.

     Transparent snail.

     "Barreleye" was found in 1939, when the specimens of deep-sea fish were destroyed in the process of rising from the sea to Shanghai. The most strange place is long with a transparent tube barrel head and eyes. Its eyes are very sensitive to light and can be seen through the transparent, liquid head of the prey above the head, the barrel of its tubular eyes embedded in the head, covered by a bright green vitreous. In the mouth of the fish at the top of the two small spots is not eye, but its nostrils, which is similar to the human nose.
