Learn all about these strange little octopuses in our latest episode! youtu.be/TEGpg3DTDZw?si=S2Dm…
When it comes to weird sea creatures, octopuses are particularly high on the list, so when we tell you the next bizarre beast is the strangest octopus that's really saying something!
Can you guess the next bizarre beast?
ALT a silhouette of a nondescript sort of swoopy shaped light pink object with the text "CAN YOU GUESS THE NEXT BIZARRE BEAST?" in the Bizarre Beasts font. Oh wait--did you check the alt text for spoilers? You sneaky, cheeky little stinker! You'll have to wait for Monday's reveal just like everybody else. But since you made it this far I'll give you an extra clue... mating literally costs these cephalopods an arm. Do with that what you will.
Bird intelligence is super impressive...but it has us thinking, what other animals are smart?
Tell us about your intelligent animal friends!

If you guessed Goffin's Cockatoo, you're right!
Many surprisingly smart birds out there pack so much processing power into their relatively small brains. Learn about them in our latest episode! youtu.be/3OdB6Zbd2XQ?si=AR4P…
Our next episode celebrates some highly intelligent avian animals. We were quite pleasantly surprised by the things these beasts were able to accomplish. Can you guess what the next bizarre beast is?

Our next phasmid of the week is Phyllium phillipinicum! This is the leaf insect that inspired our pin for this episode!
As we described in the episode, its eggs fittingly look like seeds.
PS how many leaf insects can you spot in that last picture?
