I kind of want those rats domesticated.

I also love the caterpillars who join themselves together to disguise themselves as a snake.

Saw a smaller version of this story earlier this week. Had a picture of a guy holding one of the rats. The thing was the size of a house cat, if not bigger.

The king bird of paradise was really cool, and you're right, those caterpillars are great.

where do i sign up for "addopting" one of the animals.. i know this is america, we always have ways of getting what we want XP

but this was an interesting find, i find it interesting that we are still finding new types of animals and insects
