You May Remember Hearing About Caterpillars Tricking Predators By Mimicking More Toxic Caterpillars,

You may remember hearing about caterpillars tricking predators by mimicking more toxic caterpillars, but biologists in South America have discovered something amazing: a caterpillar that mimics a baby bird. This allows them to ‘flip the script’ and rather than worry about being eaten, they are fed regularly by the Cinereous Mourner whose nests they parasitize.

More commonly known as Goth Turkeys, Trinidadian Piping Guans are critically endangered. Many attribute this to a general decline in popularity of the Gothic genre as a whole, but in reality it is simply the perennial conflict between Man and Nature. Specifically, the mating call for this darkly romantic bird sounds uncannily like Robert Smith wordlessly crooning at all hours of the night and day, while the locals prefer Siouxsie Sioux to the exclusion of all other vocals.

Grebes are unique among birds for their possession of both a syrinx (the normal noise-making apparatus for birds) and a larynx. This remarkable adaptation allows some species (like the Horned Grebe, pictured above) to emit pulses of shaped sound capable of stunning small fish who wander too close to the water's surface.

A Bad Hair Day is a common phenomenon for the Snowy Egret, which is remarkable when you consider they don't have any hair at all.
