Close-up of small fish "nightmare" in the sea of Mexico
Sarcastic fringeheads are native to the waters of Southern California and Baja, Mexico. They are classified as potentially hazardous to humans.
A special feature of this wide-mouthed fish is that they are very aggressive and are known for their wide mouth that scares prey.
Their main food is crustaceans and are ready to attack anything that comes close. Even those are divers and do not give up when attacking their prey.
When the males get too close together, they open their amazingly large and colorful mouths and pose threats to each other.
If one of the males does not back down, this will escalate into a fierce battle. Ask two wide-mouthed fish ready to "lose" enough with each other to take the position of the strongest.
According to the research of biologist Watcharapong Hongjamrassilp, this aggressive fish also uses its mouth to communicate with each other.
This is a rather special form of communication discovered by Watcharapong Hongjamrassilp.

Moray Eel - The terrifying obsession of divers!
These sea eels have very unique independent jaws, surprising many people. They often live hiding in the crevices of rocks and coral during the day to hide from predators and often hunt at night. With their sharp teeth and powerful jaw muscles, they are considered one of the ocean's most respected hunters.
Moray eels have more than 200 species and some of them have the ability to camouflage very well. Their smooth skin is covered with a thick film that can change their body color to match their surroundings. From there, Moray can attack unexpected, unpredictable prey.
In addition, the flexible and flexible backbone allows it to swim in an S-shape and crept into the crevices of the smallest coral reefs or reefs.
Large size, erratic temperament and possessing sharp teeth, Moray eels are relatively dangerous for divers. Moray eels are usually larger in body size than other marine eels, in particular, there are The baby has a length of more than 3m, weighs up to 25kg. Because of this, it is often confused with sea snakes.
Not only that, Moray's teeth have a lot of bacteria, if bitten by it, the victim will be at great risk of infection, gradually leading to necrosis.
Normally, Moray eels are quite shy, so they often hide in coral reefs, only fiercely attacking when they feel threatened or when... hungry! But because they are so shy, they often have a sense of danger when meeting divers or researchers. From there, many scary stories about this sea monster were born.

Hercules beetle - a great strong vegetarian | Nature VN
It is a type of rhinoceros beetle. This insect is named in honor of the ancient Greek hero Hercules. Ancient Demigod possessed remarkable strength and endurance. Hercules beetles are also very strong. He lifts a weight 850 times his own! Many scientists call it the most powerful insect on Earth. Humans, to be compared with the strength of beetles, would need to lift 65 tons. In addition, Hercules beetles are one of the largest insects. In size, it is only inferior to the titan woodcutter, who is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest in the world. However, despite Hercules' amazing size and strength, the giant lived only six months. Therefore, females in a short time should have time to lay as many eggs as possible. Most of the beetle's body is covered with hard elytra. They change color depending on the habitat. For a long time, the color change of beetles has been a subject of interest to scientists. During the study of this phenomenon, it was possible to identify enzymes that change the color of elytra depending on the humidity level of the environment. This allows the beetles to quickly adapt to climate change. Therefore, insects can be used as an indicator of environmental humidity levels. Its color can be golden, olive, olive brown, dark yellow with black spots. His entire body is covered with short, stiff villi. Insects prefer tropical and subtropical climates. It can be found in the forests of South and Central America. Today, these giants live in large numbers in Brazil, Venezuela, Bolivia, Mexico, Panama and the Caribbean islands. During the rainy season, beetles are found everywhere. Hercules beetles also live in Peru, Ecuador and other places with an abundance of rainforest. The main diet of this giant insect is rotten fruit that has fallen to the ground. The beetle can eat the same fruit for a long time until it drains all the nutrients from it. If necessary, he can also climb a tree in search of food with strong legs. It uses oats and wings to fly from tree to tree. The wingspan of his wings is 22 cm.

Sponges:Filter feeding made visible | Nature VN
A florescent dye is injected next to a sponge and the sponge quickly pumps the dye through its body. This demonstrates that sponges actively pump large quantities of water through their bodies in order to extract tiny organisms for food from the water.
There are about 5000 species of sponges living in different freshwater and saltwater areas. Besides, many species create many different morphologies. Because they can live in many layers, combined with many marine algae, they can create many different colors. Sponges are not corals. They are like corals – motionless aquatic invertebrates. But they are still creatures with completely different anatomy and other properties. Regardless of these differences, sponges are still important inhabitants of coral reef ecosystems. This diverse population of organisms can affect water quality on reefs because they filter water, collect bacteria, and process carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus. In nutrient-depleted coral reefs, some species are thought to have created biocarbon by excreting a form of "sponge droppings" that other organisms eat. Thus boosting productivity throughout the ecosystem. Most sponges are only a few centimeters in size, but some are tubular or non-shaped less than a centimeter; Others are tubular or branched, and can be one to two meters tall. Where the wide round blocks can be one to two meters in diameter. The size of a species can change with age; environmental conditions and food supply. Sponges are an ancient organism that is often confused with a plant species. They come in many shapes like tubes, branches, fingers, spheres or even amorphous. Besides, their color is also influenced by the water layer they live in. Besides helping creatures to hide, they also have economic value to humans.

Eunice Aphroditois - horror and scary sea monster |Nature VN
One of the most feared predators in the ocean, even the name of the Bobbit worm is enough to make many people shiver.
To most accurately describe, Bobbit is a species of sea worm, with a set of jaws containing hundreds of sharp knives, like a meat grinder. Its size is also very respectable: on average 1m long, but some are up to 3m long. They have been present on Earth for nearly 400 million years. Bobbits live in the warm waters of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. The fear of this worm lies in the way they hunt. They will hide their long bodies in the sea sand, revealing only a small part. And then when the fragrant bait passes, they will jump up at extremely high speed, twist their jagged teeth into every fiber of the ill-fated, and drag it down to the grave that has been dug. Scary is not only that. Even its name (Bobbit) will make many people shudder to know its origin. The person who coined this name was Dr. Gosliner at the California Academy of Sciences, during a trip to the Philippines in 1992. According to the explanation, he was working on a book on the species at the time, and he needed a name for the worm E. aphroditois.
Its name comes from a 1996 court case involving a woman named Lorena Bobbitt who cut off her husband's penis with a knife while he was asleep in bed. The worm is considered a of the most fearsome giant sea worms. They can grow to reach 3m in length.
Most of the time, they stay in burrows on the seafloor, leaving only part of their body protruding from the surface to catch prey - mainly fish, and hide the rest of its long body into the ocean floor. covered with gravel, mud or coral.

Discovered a strange 3-eyed creature appeared | Nature VN
As soon as a puddle appears in the midst of the terrible heat in the desert, you will see tadpole shrimp. They grow super fast, only 2-3 weeks to mature
In fact, tadpole shrimp doesn't just live in the desert. Because they are aquatic, they are found in most freshwater habitats from Europe to Asia. Tadpole shrimp are easy to identify, because they have a shrimp-like tail and a head similar to a horseshoe crab. In captivity, tadpole shrimp only grow to 6cm. However, in the wild, they can reach a size of 11cm.
Tadpole shrimp's favorite food is mosquito larvae. Therefore, they are also considered as human allies in the fight against West Nile virus - a disease-causing virus mainly transmitted by Culex mosquitoes. In addition, tadpole shrimp also eat weeds. In Japan, they are used by farmers as a biological solution to kill weeds in rice fields.
Tadpole shrimp possess both hermaphroditic and hermaphroditic reproduction. Their eggs are super-hard, able to withstand any extreme conditions, whether it's heat, freezing or lack of oxygen. By secreting trehalose, a sugar that doesn't absorb water, tadpole shrimp hold their eggs. their safe in the water. If the habitat is not depleted, the eggs will hatch into offspring, continuing the life cycle. Otherwise, they will maintain the state until the right conditions are met.
Freshly shelled, baby tadpoles are already extremely busy. They chase every smaller creature in sight, at least every day must "cram" an amount of food equal to 40% of the body weight.
Because they are omnivores and eat like ships, they grow as fast as they can. Although they are only 1.8mm long at first, but after 4 days they are 6.4mm. In about 2-3 weeks, the young tadpole shrimp are mature, ready to breed. Before the "temporary" home dries up, the female tadpole shrimp will try to lay as many litters as possible. Their eggs can hatch on the spot next year, when there is enough water, they can also be scattered around.
No matter where you are stuck, as long as you meet the right conditions, tadpole shrimp eggs will hatch into babies. The newly born "smell chips" frantically hunt for all kinds of larvae, even juveniles, and devour weeds.

Bird are called the most beautiful in the world found in New Guinea | Nature VN
Birds of paradise are found in New Guinea and surrounding islands. Two other species of birds of paradise called "manucodes" and "riflebirds" grow in Australia. Most birds of paradise live in tropical forests (including rainforests, marshes and moss forests), Some species have been found in coastal mangroves
The brightly colored plumage is the reason why birds of paradise are a prime target for hunters, which in turn has led to the extinction of several species in the bird of paradise family. Indigenous tribes in New Guinea often use the feathers of the bird of paradise in dress and ritual. For centuries, the bird's feathers have also been popularly used in Europe as female jewelry. This slaughtered a large number of birds of paradise . At the same time, deforestation has destroyed the bird's habitat, leading to this bird being on the protected list of many countries.
Like many other birds of paradise, only the male possesses a resplendent appearance. The females have light brown plumage with a dark green crown. To attract the attention of the female, the male clears away leaves or debris to create an arena on the forest floor. In the middle of the flat ground, it will perform by jumping from branch to branch, bending its body in many positions, spreading its iridescent multicolored feathers and singing. Not only shaking his head, stretching his neck, raising his tail, sometimes the male also opens his mouth wide in front of the female to convince his mate. Besides, to "score" in the eyes of the female, the male will clear away the leaves or debris to create an arena on the forest floor. When it does, it will perform by jumping from branch to branch, bending its body in many positions, spreading its brilliant plumage and singing.
The legless Bird of Paradise is not without legs, just because its legs are very short; When flying, the legs are hidden in the feathers so people cannot see. The tail feathers and wing feathers of the legless bird of paradise are two or three times as long as its body. It is also known as the long-tailed bird of paradise.
King Bird of Paradise, about 20cm long, much smaller than other birds of Paradise. It is very loyal, when one of your friends dies, the other will fast to die. The king bird likes to live alone, not in the same area with other birds of paradise. When the birds of Heaven change places, the king bird always flies up to act as a guide bird.
Bird of Paradise is the symbol of Papua New Guinea, both the national flag and coat of arms, aviation and memorabilia show the bird of Paradise.

Super camouflage fish has a "death" bite | Nature VN
The ability to camouflage and hunt in ambush causes the Stargazer's prey to die before it can identify its attacker.
Stargazer fish (astrology or Japanese star) has the scientific name Pleuroscopus pseudodorsalis, belongs to the family Uranoscopidae, genus Pleuroscopus. This is a fish that usually lives at a depth of 40-800m on the seabed, with a body length of 18-90cm.
With a skin color that matches the color of the sea sand, astrological fish has the ability to disguise itself as invisible in front of its prey. They ambush their prey by hiding under thin sand with only their eyes bulging to observe. They eat smaller fish, octopus and squid.
With jagged, sharp teeth and fierce eyes, astrological fish are also classified as the ugliest fish in the world.
A stealthy predator, the upturned face allows the astrological fish to hide most of its body in the sand or mud, waiting for its prey to swim close. When opening its mouth, astrological fish can turn into a "killer pit" with the ability to swallow prey of similar size.
INTERESTING EVENTS
1. The carnivore has electrical parts located behind the eyes, which makes this fish unique. The adult individual generates a current of up to 40-50 watts. Thus, they fear potential predators, and during mating they signal their willingness to choose a partner. Some astrological fish are even able to suck in prey with their long tongues.
2. Many people include a carnivore in their diet, the former removing the toxic mutation. Experts say that the taste of the fish is very pleasant.
3. This species has no commercial value.
4. Attracting bait, the sea cow releases its tongue, reminiscent of a moving worm. This body, working as a bait, incites the victim to capture him. So a crafty creature provides its livelihood.
5. The main features of the predator are patience, dexterity and adaptability, merging with the bottom topography.

A spiny lizard that looks like a dinosaur lives in Australia | Nature VN
The spiny devil lizard (scientific name: Moloch horridus) is a species of lizard that lives in Australia. They have the ability to absorb water from dew, moisture and wet sand and transfer it to their mouths to drink.
The Devil Thorn lizard has a special shape that no other lizard in the world has. So we can easily recognize this lizard with the naked eye. Just by noticing on the back of this lizard there is a layer of long spines protruding in many directions, sharp, sharp spikes. Between these layers of spiky scales are layers of small spines with rhombic or other shapes. The back of this lizard has a layer of spines that even on their head, abdomen and 4 legs are covered with a layer of spines similar to the spines on the back, but they are small and a little shorter than the spines on the back.
This species in the wild is often yellow and alternates with brown, dark red, and black colors with this color they are easy to camouflage to avoid dangerous lips in deserts and deserts. In particular, they are also capable of rapidly changing color according to the environment if they want to rely on the reaction of pigment cells in the dermis layer of the skin, but that does not mean they can change to any color. .
Think about it: The prickly devil's skin is covered with thorny scales. Some scientists think that water vapor or dew that condenses on these scales will flow from the base of the spines down a system of semi-opened grooves between the scales on the skin. These grooves connect to each other leading to the edges of the lizard's mouth. However, how can the spiny devil lizard suck water from the bottom of its feet up and lead it along its body to its mouth regardless of gravity's gravity? force? How do these lizards suck water from the moist ground when rubbing their bellies against the ground? Researchers seem to have discovered their secret. The grooves located on the surface of the lizard skin are connected to another system of grooves under the skin by ducts. The structure of these grooves creates capillary phenomenon, which is the phenomenon in which water is drawn up into narrow slits, regardless of the pull of gravity. Thanks to that, the skin of this lizard acts like a sponge.

The "hypnotic" beauty of Crinoids - Sea Lilies | Nature VN
These strange and beautiful creatures are called Crinoids, or sea lilies. Professional diver Els van den Eijnden from the Netherlands took these precious pictures in the waters near Bali.
Sea lilies have tentacles that look like tree branches, growing a lot of hair. This animal lives clinging to coral reefs, and it is very rare to see them swimming.
The scientific name of the sea lily is Endoxocrinus parrae. Despite bearing the name of a flower, the sea lily is actually an animal belonging to the group of echinoderms, in the same family as starfish and sea urchins. They use feather-like proboscis to capture and suck up plankton.
Sea lilies are strange and beautiful creatures with tentacles that look like tree branches, and are very hairy. For most of their life, sea lilies cling to rocks and coral reefs. Only in exceptional situations do they move from their habitat. Therefore, it is very rare to see this animal swimming.
Sea lilies are characterized by having a mouth at the top, a U-shaped intestine, and their anus located next to the mouth.
Sea lilies are the oldest group of echinoderms that have survived to this day. They have about 5000 fossil species, and more than 600 species currently living in both deep sea, shallow or tropical coral reefs can find traces of them. Sea lilies feed by filtering small food particles from seawater with their feathers.
Sea lilies are faeces, having separate male and female, but they do not have obvious gonads.
The ocean always contains dangerous threats to small creatures. Throughout their evolution, they have adapted themselves by finding 'homes' to hide in. And there are some species that consider the sea lily as a discreet and safe "home", such as shrimp, rock fish, squat lobster, etc.

Giant Tortoises' amazing movement speed
The giant tortoise is an iconic species from the Galápagos and is only found on these islands. They are the largest living tortoise in the world.The Aldabra giant tortoise (Aldabrachelys gigantea) lives on the remote Aldabra Atoll, one of the Seychelles group of islands in the Indian Ocean It is the only living species in the genus Aldabrachelys. Two other species in the genus, Aldabrachelys abrupta, and Aldabrachelys grandidieri were formerly endemic to Madagascar, but became extinct after the arrival of people.Aldabra giant tortoises have large dome-shaped shells in order to protect their delicate bodies that lie beneath their shells. They also have long necks in order to eat leaves from the higher branches of trees. The males, although not much bigger than the females, weigh nearly 100 kg (220 lbs) more. They move slowly and have small, thick legs and round, almost flat feet that assist them in walking on sand.
The Aldabra giant tortoise mainly inhabits grasslands and swamps on Aldabra Atoll's islands, which form a part of the Seychelles island chain in the Indian Ocean. In the past, they shared the islands with multiple other giant tortoise species, but many of them were hunted to extinction in the 1700s and 1800s.[citation needed] Despite the fact that they are usually found in regions of dense low-lying vegetation, they have been known to wander into areas with more sparse vegetation and rocks when food is scarce. They can also be seen resting in shaded areas or shallow pools of water in order to cool themselves on hot days.[22][better source needed] Aldabra giant tortoises tend to spend their lives grazing, but will cover surprising distances in search of food and have also been observed on bare rock and thin soil. They can drink from very shallow pools through their nostrils; the former genus Dipsochelys refers to this adaptation.[23][full citation needed]Galápagos tortoises are herbivorous, feeding primarily on cactus pads, grasses, and native fruit. They drink large quantities of water when available that they can store in their bladders for long periods of time. There are two main types of shell among them, the saddle-backed shell and the domed shell. They both provide special adaption to different environments. The saddle-backed tortoises are the smallest Galápagos tortoises, but present a very long neck and pairs of legs. They live on arid zone and feed on cactus. The domed tortoises are bigger with shorter neck and legs, they are found in the more vegetated islands and feed on grass.[27] They spend an average of 16 hours a day resting. Their activity level is driven by ambient temperature and food availability. In the cool season, they are active at midday, sleeping in in the morning and afternoon. In the hot season, their active period is early morning and late afternoon, while midday finds them resting and trying to keep cool under the shade of a bush or half-submerged in muddy wallows.Tortoises breed primarily during the hot season from January to May; however, tortoises can be seen mating any month of the year. During the cool season (June to November), female tortoises migrate to nesting zones, which are generally located in low lands of the islands, to lay their eggs. A female can lay from 1–4 nests over a nesting season from June to December. She digs the hole with her hind feet, then lets the eggs drop down into the nest, and finally covers it again with her hind feet. The number of eggs ranges from 2 to 7 for saddle-backed tortoises to sometimes more than 20 to 25 eggs for domed tortoises. The eggs incubate from 110 to 175 days (incubation periods depend on the month the clutch was produced, with eggs laid early in the cool season requiring longer incubation periods than eggs laid at the end of the cool season, when the majority of their incubation will occur at the start of the hot season). After hatching, the young hatchlings remain in the nest for a few weeks before emerging out a small hole adjacent to the nest cap. Usually, the temperature of the nest influences on the sex of the hatchling. Warm temperatures would yield more females, while colder temperatures would yield more males

The smart fish trap of humpback whales
Pollution from the mainland begins to reduce the availability of oxygen in the water, promoting fish species to the surface, where there are naturally higher concentrations of oxygen. Eden whales (Balaenoptera edeni edeni) often rush to the surface of the sea to pick up small fish, but this way they have to swallow a lot of water. If the number of fish is small, the effort is not nearly worth it. Seemingly tired of constantly chasing prey, Eden whales choose an alternative method called bait traps.
By opening their mouths in the water like a giant basketball hoop, whales can frighten small fish, jump into the air and fall directly into their mouths. While working on the programme, the BBC team witnessed this behavior in lone whales, and even in mother and young fish. Hunting with the same species is very beneficial because one individual will swim around and scare more small fish into their open mouth. The birds also benefited by swooping down and catching fish from inside the whale's mouth. It's a tough challenge for small, hypoxic fish, but it's a great example of how wildlife can adapt to weather fluctuations in the habitat that come from human activity.
Humpback whales migrate to alaska in summer to forage, then return to warm seas in hawaii in winter to breed and raise children. Since the ban on commercial whaling in 1985, humpback whales are recovering. They are no longer considered endangered animals.

Two-headed snake tries to swallow two mice
Two-headed snakes appear when the embryo division is not complete, leading to bicephaly, also known as two-headed deformity. The incidence of two-headed deformity in snakes is 1:10,000. The two snake heads in the video are called Ben and Jerry, belonging to the California king snake breed. This pair of snake heads is 4 and a half years old and was bought by him from a friend 3 years ago.
In the video, each snake head swallows a rat on its own. However, this 2-headed snake has the same digestive system, so Brian only dared to feed it 1 mouse to avoid "overeating". 99.9% of animals with biceps do not live a year. However, if they can overcome and mature like Ben and Jerry, their lifespan will be very long, even living to 20-25 years.
Currently, Ben and Jerry are living at The Reptarium Zoo in Michigan. It is also home to a number of other "strange" creatures such as a two-headed turtle, an albino crocodile and a rare black alligator.
Two-headed snakes have two brains that make different decisions. This makes it difficult for them to forage or avoid predators. Therefore, it is difficult for two-headed snakes to survive in the wild.

Rare blanket octopus discovered in Great Barrier Reef
A marine biologist spotted one of the ocean's rarest inhabitants 'dancing' in the water above the Great Barrier Reef. It is a colorful blanket octopus, the number of times found in the wild is very few.
acinta Shackleton, reef guide and marine biologist, working off Lady Elliot Island in the Great Barrier Reef discovered the rare creature during a marine survey.
The blanket octopus (Tremoctopus) is a genus of octopus in the family Tremoctopodidae, the only genus in this family. Due to the strange living characteristics and very limited number in the wild, encountering this animal is considered "once in a lifetime".
Male octopuses are very aggressive when it comes to mating. They fight fiercely and often aim to rip off their rival's sperm-producing tubes.The blanket octopus is one of the strange and rare creatures in the world, they have a giant membrane that easily makes people think they are giant moving blankets. That is also the reason this species of octopus is called the blanket octopus.
The blanket octopus has a record difference in size between males and females. Females can weigh up to 10 kg, and males only about 0.25g. In terms of size, males are about 10 thousand times smaller than females, and in some cases even 40 thousand times smaller.
However, the male octopus is very aggressive when it comes to the right to mate. They fight fiercely and often aim to rip off their rival's sperm-producing tubes. After defeating and driving away all other males, the victor gets access to the female.This octopus has up to three hearts, and a parrot-like beak. Their saliva contains venom, although not deadly. This species has the ability to change skin color and texture easily and quickly.
However, only female octopuses have this "cloak". When feeling threatened, the octopus will throw a blanket to distract or attack enemies.

Rattlesnake "suicide" is full of confusion in the deserted house
While moving through an abandoned house, two hunters suddenly discovered a rattlesnake.Sensing danger approaching, the snake vibrated its tail, releasing a cry that threatened its opponent. However, when the hunter touched him with an ax, the snake bit its two fangs and injected venom into its body.After a puzzling suicide attempt, the snake died. The two hunters were very surprised and did not know why the animal was acting so confusing.Rattlesnakes are native to the United States. Their name comes from the structure of the tail end that can emit a dice-like sound to deter enemies or warn intruders. This snake is the prey of falcons, weasels, king snakes and many other animals.Most rattlesnakes are very venomous. Their venom can quickly paralyze the nervous system of prey such as mice, birds and some other small animals, and then cause the victim's heart to stop beating just a few minutes after being bitten. .
According to statistics in the US, each year there are about 7,000 to 8000 victims of rattlesnake bites with about 10 deaths.
Most cases of rattlesnake bites are caused by stepping on or walking near them. When bitten by a rattlesnake, the poison from their fangs will seep into the wound, into the bloodstream, disrupting blood vessel wall cells and causing very dangerous internal bleeding. In some cases, rattlesnake bites can lead to death if not treated promptly.

Trying to kiss the turtle, young man screaming when he was bitten
While fishing with a friend in Massachusetts, USA, Michael Ganley suddenly noticed a turtle swimming near him. Right after that, the guy pulled it ashore. When he saw the tortoise struggling in Michael's hand, his companion reminded him: "Hey, be careful it bites off your finger". However, Michael still ignores your warning. Instead, he continued to play and was even excited to give the turtle a kiss. As soon as Michael brought the turtle close to him, it stretched its neck, biting right into his mouth. Too surprised, the guy could only cry out in pain. Fortunately, the tortoise's bite was not too serious, so Michael seemed to only be in pain without bleeding or scratching. Before that, a man in Russia also fell into a situation of "half crying and laughing" when lifting. a turtle up and kiss its mouth for a friend to take a picture. As a result, this person was bitten on the tongue by the animal.

King cobra kills python with just one fatal bite
The clip was recorded in Jim Corbett National Park, Uttarakhand state, India. A large king cobra is gripping a python's neck. Although he tried to struggle, opened his mouth wide and tried to escape from the enemy, the python was still unsuccessful. After a few minutes of struggling, the python gradually weakened and lay motionless due to the enemy's venom. The king cobra then slowly swallows the entire body of its prey.
The king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) is distributed mainly in tropical forests from India to Southeast Asia. This is the longest venomous snake in the world with a maximum length of 7 meters. They mainly eat cannibals and other snakes and small vertebrates such as lizards and mice.
The amount of venom released in one bite can kill 20 adults or kill an adult elephant within hours.

A species of birds capable of turning into snakes when danger
The wrynecks (genus Jynx) are a small but distinctive group of small Old World woodpeckers.These birds get their English name from their ability to turn their heads almost 180 degrees. When disturbed at the nest, they use this snake-like head twisting and hissing as a threat display. It has occasionally been called "snake-bird" for that reason.[1]
Like the true woodpeckers, wrynecks have large heads, long tongues which they use to extract their insect prey and zygodactyl feet, with two toes pointing forward, and two backwards. However, they lack the stiff tail feathers that the true woodpeckers use when climbing trees, so they are more likely than their relatives to perch on a branch rather than an upright trunk.
Their bills are shorter and less dagger-like than in the true woodpeckers, but their chief prey are ants and other insects, which they find in decaying wood or almost bare soil. They re-use woodpecker holes for nesting, rather than making their own holes. The eggs are white, as with many hole nesters.
The two species have cryptic plumage, with intricate patterning of greys and browns. The adult moults rapidly between July and September, although some moult continues in its winter quarters.[2] The voice is a nasal woodpecker-like call. Its sound is described as a repetition of the sounds que, que, que, many times in succession, rapid at first, but gradually slowing and in a continually falling key. This is only heard during a few weeks of its stay in Europe.[1]

Amazed by the camouflage of butterflies
Buff-tip(Phalera bucephala)

The Buff-tip has gone one stage further and is not just the colour of a twig, but the same shape too! And it resembles a specific type of twig; that of a birch tree with its characteristic silvery coloured bark. As if that was not enough, it even looks exactly like a broken birch twig!
When at rest, the wings are held almost vertically against the body with two buff areas at the front of the thorax and at the tips of the forewings which look very like the pale wood of the birch. The rest of the wings are the same mottled grey colour of the birch bark.
Occasionally the adults can be found resting in the day on a twig or the ground. They fly at night and comes to light, usually after midnight.
The yellow and black caterpillars can be seen from July to early October before they overwinter as pupae under the ground.

Found a sleeping young fox:
When i went for a walk in the woods, i saw a young fox, which was relaxing on the grass, and it didn' t know i was coming. Young Fox are so pretty, especially the tails and teeth, and I love the sounds they make. Now I need to get some books about these animals, I want to know more.
