We couldn’t have made this episode so incredible without the help of Nannette Van Antwerp, who gave us so much footage for this episode! Check out Nanette’s video from an epic blackwater dive: https://t.co/wff1lmdavg

If you guessed Argonauts, you're right!

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?

Bird intelligence is super impressive...but it has us thinking, what other animals are smart?

Tell us about your intelligent animal friends!

[The Figen @TheFigen_]

This bird is smarter than most people.

I knew they were smart, but I had no idea they could make and use tools, I wanted this design to look like it’s really hatching an idea and include a lil pop of colour! I love birds, I can’t express that enough, and I’m constantly fascinated by how smart many of them are.”

Fox Vincent (@FoxSnails ) is an illustrator, painter, and small creature lover from Devon, UK. When they’re not creating, they’re out in the woods birding, flipping logs for bugs, or on the sea shore exploring rockpools.

Birds are a huge interest of mine, so you can imagine my excitement when I was contacted about creating the pin for Goffin’s Cockatoo! I know a lot about my native woodland birds, so researching Goffin’s Cockatoo was new and exciting to me!

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! https://t.co/SU952Lqq1B

@CloudEnby Oh no! Can you send us an email at [email protected] so our team can help you?

If you guessed phasmids, you're right! This order of insects has mostly evolved to be basically invisible…unless you’re on the lookout for suspicious leaves and twigs. But why would a bug evolve to mimic a plant? Find out in our latest episode: https://t.co/sxY2DGopBF

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?
