Realizing maybe there’s some truth to the age-old idiom strength in numbers (and horned tonnage), this is a video of a deer running into the middle of a herd of bison to avoid a coyote in Yellowstone National Park. That’s smart. Even smarter? Dressing up like a coyote so it
The bald eagle: AMERICA’S BIRD. And to celebrate the avian symbol of freedom, this is a video of some anglers tossing a caught fish in the air, and a bald eagle effortlessly catching it in its talons. Impressive. For reference, I can’t even catch the appetizer shrimp a chef tosses
This is a video of a New Zealander with a native praying mantis on his fingertip taking it around the house so it can catch a fly. It bobbles its first effort, but manages to catch the fly on the second go-around. Some more info while I wish I had

This is a short video of a little archerfish demonstrating how easily it could hit an apple on someone’s head by spitting a perfect bullseye and knocking its shrimp treat into the water. Impressive. Maybe not as good as my aim, but *tosses paper wad at trashcan, misses* Whatever. You
