HAIRY BIRD OR CATERPILLAR?

Venture into the tropical jungle to discover a simple bird that takes advantage of one of the most marvelous forms of mimicry. You might not be quite sure if you’re staring at a caterpillar or a bird.

This channel has the most original and interesting footage I have seen on youtube, it is also very informative. I love this channel, please never stop, this channel feeds my inner need to see and learn more about this amazing world, something the discovery channel with their recycled footage and information combined with irritating color commentary could never do. Thank you!!! <3

I considered myself somewhat of an animal buff, but this channel consistently brings up animals I haven't even heard of. Love it!

Your videos are getting better all the time. I have been watching your vids for a while and some of them were pretty cringy. Here you did it right: talk to us at the beginning and the end and make the rest about cool biology. Keep it up and I hope you get more subscribers.

If you haven't done it already, maybe do a video on the Peacock Spiders from Australia. Their mating dances are really fun.
