    So watching the discovery channel, I saw two animals that I thought were really cool. The first is a bird that can mimic any sound it hears. Any sound. Mostly it just mimics the calls of other birds, but it can do power drills, chain saws, car alarms, the sound a camera shutter makes, too. It makes complex songs from sounds it hears to attract a female to mate...*sigh* males of any species will say anything to have sex, it seems...

    The Lyre bird

    And secondly, the Barreleye Fish

    Those things in front that look like eyes, are actually it's nostrils. It's eyes are those two green domes inside the transparent head. I guess you could call it sea[thru] food. BUWUHAHAHA. GET IT? SEA FOOD?

    Fascinating, I think. Do you have video of something similar you find interesting?


    The show I was watching was Is It Possible?




    And here's some bonus footage for those who might be interested...
