This is a video of chocolatier Amaury Guichon (previously) constructing a life-size leopard entirely out of chocolate. I’ve heard of snow leopards, but chocolate leopards?

This is a clip from the BBC Earth/PBS series Big Pacific of David Attenborough narrating the efforts of a male white-spotted puffer fish as it creates an intricate mandala in the sand to attract a mate. The puffer works tirelessly with its fins 24 hours a day for a week
This is a video of incredibly skilled six time World Irish Dance champion Lochlan Howard demonstrating his Irish dancing moves, stepping so fast it’s hard to believe this is even real. I like those little hops he does — looks like he’s legitimately floating. And maybe he is. He should

This is a video of the astronaut sculpture created by ex-physicist (once a physicist, always a physicist in my opinion) and artist Julian Voss-Andreae. It’s constructed of cross section slices of mirrors, and almost seems invisible when viewed directly head-on (or back-on), but appears more solid as you move around
These are several video examples of artist Damien Beneteau’s Spherical Variations, chrome and matte black balls on a pendulum that pass through a lit portal, producing some pretty trippy visuals in the process.
