- Penguins (especially emperor penguins)
- Sea elephants

- Salmons climbing rivers and bears slapping them
- Cuckoo chicks pushing other chicks out of the nest
- Lions or cheetahs failing to make a kill after a long setup
- Elephants
- Birds and whales working together in an epic scene to eat a shoal of fish
- Sea turtles laying eggs on the beach and baby sea turtles trying to reach the ocean
- Flamingos
- This beautiful coral reef is dying because humans
- Tigers
Why does it always have to be the usual suspects? There are so many interesting animals on the planet that we still haven’t seen.
What animals would you like to see?
I’d like to be surprised. There are billions of species out there, lets learn about some animals we’ve rarely or even never seen before, instead of just the usual dozen.
Apart from that, I personally like birds.
What is the last species that did surprise you (on whatever source)?
It was probably when The Oatmeal told us how strange the mantis shrimp really is.
