[@annabellethepitty]

2:51 like a lactose intolerant cheese maker, they are unaware of their own gifts.

[@Hyperion-5744]

They're definitely one of the more interesting cuttlefish species.

[@eunaekim9216]

This Pokémon knows Toxic, Flash and possibly Hydro Pump because of its jet propulsion!

[@chisaquaticvibe6524]

They are '' masters of disguise''.

[@keatonblackman472]

[@indyreno2933]

Can you do fact files on prairie chickens?

[@windowsnt4workstaion]

I request the Golden Jumping spider (Platycryptus undatus)

[@Col28]

Very cool! And poisonous? I had no idea.
Thanks!

[@neveraskedforahandle]

Sepia, though? Weirdest fact of the video.

[@doccolour]

Interesting video. btw: Sepia is pronounced [ see-pee-uh ] not sep-ee-uh.

[@Col28]

By the way, what was the whisper at the very end?

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Ah! Thank you for pointing that out. Not meant to be there 😅
