| | I say the tapir! The brilliant weirdness of it just makes me wonder in amusement everytime...
Though the platypus and the armadillo are cool too.  | | |

...Though I do feel that the armadillo is kind of a myth...
Not like you see them snoofing around for food in your back yard. | | |

Ok I got one how about Velociraptors, boy I'd like to have one of those for a pet, you said real you never said no extinct animals.
If not I guess chemosynthetic worm nodules on the deep sea ocean bed, real but really weird, don't need sunlight purely sulfur based, and so a whole ecosystem is sustained, deep where there is no light and where temperatures on average are below freezing but no those feisty nodules, use their chemosynthetic bacteria in their guts to produce food and energy, without oxygen carbon dioxide or sunlight, and they also tolerate the high temperatures of volcanic temperatures at the ocean vents.
Plus I think they are cool because their are good chances that life very much like it will be found in the oceans of Europa which orbits Jupiter, and that is just so cool.

Chemosynthetic meaning it can make its own Chemicals?

No it means it feeds of chemicals rather then sunlight, with photosynthesis plants feed of sunlight and convert it to food, with chemosynthesis symbiotic bacteria convert the sulfur compounds continuously spewing out of deep sea vents into food for other organisms, this means that there are whole ecosystems in the very deeps which are utterly independent of the sun.
