I think that one sprayed a net that’s supposed to help them catch prey.

I’m really not sure, though, because they all look like scraps of sushi.

The superb lyrebird is endemic to southeastern Australia.

During courtship displays, the male inverts his tail over his head, fanning his feathers to form a silvery white canopy to impress females.

The superb lyrebird is most famously known for its extraordinary ability to accurately mimic a huge variety of sounds, including twenty different bird species’ calls, car alarms, chainsaws and various camera shutters.

Watch a short video of the lyrebird’s sounds here.

The coconut crab is an incredible crustacean. It’s a terrestrial hermit crab and the biggest land-living arthropod in the world, reaching possibly the biggest sizes an animal with exoskeleton can reach outside of water in modern times (In the Carboniferous period, when oxygen levels in the atmosphere were higher, insects and other arthropods could get even bigger due to their way of breathing).

Peculiarly for a crab, they feed mostly on nuts, fruits and other vegetable matter and instinctivelly climb trees for protection!

We’ve talked about these guys before, but I haven’t ever seen a photo that shows them having such intense pigmentation!
