'Yoda' bat, 'Ninja' slug and other weird, newly discovered animal species

Well, you guessed it. The Yoda bat has an uncanny resemblance to its Star Wars namesake Yoda, minus the Jedi skills, that is. Check out this and other newly discovered animal species, which have names that are as weird as how they look.

"It's fascinating how scientists keep coming up with new discoveries. It shows just how much there is to learn about our world.

"It's also interesting to note how these new species now have very quirky and catchy names like 'Ninja' slug, The 'Simpsons' toad and T. Rex leech.
