Guess the critter: "Barely a Brain":
Barely a Brain: "The XXXXXXXXX has an unusually small brain, with about 40% of the cranial cavity being filled with fluid, while the brain itself is like "a pair of shriveled walnut halves on top of the brain stem, in contact neither with each other nor the bones of the skull. It is the only animal on Earth with such a strangely reduced brain."

14. Yup
the Koala.

The only animal whose brain doesn't fit its skull. Their brains USED to be as big as their skulls - then they started eating nothng but eucaluptus, a very low-energy food. They had to give up something, and the brain was voted out.
