So owls air pretty cool, right?

Two big eyes, the silent flight, the ears, ears.

But also, everybody knows the owls air cool.

What about frog mouths?

Underappreciated.

You probably haven't even heard of them.

And they're like owls, except not at all.

Despite the big front facing eyes in the nocturnal habits, frog mouths are actually more closely related to hummingbirds than to owl's eyes.

Really?

What does it for us, Right, Because we humans air so eyeball focused as a community based species.

We see those eyes is like a sign of intelligence or emotion.

And I'm not saying they're not smart birds or smart but Ravens or smarter.

If Ravens had eyes like owls, we would let them teach kindergarten.

But then he makes those eyes with this big ridiculous mouth, and you get something that doesn't really appear wise.

So Muchas alternately hi!

Startled, sleepy, cranky, shocked and adorably furious.

Rod maths art night hunters just like owls.

Hence the convergent evolution on big front facing eyes.

But they mostly bugs, though they will eat a mammal that happens close enough by they have a hard time killing them so that let's whack them on rocks until they die.

But they mostly eat bugs.

So instead of big, powerful legs, they have a big, gigantic marrow.

The bigger that mouth got, the higher the odds of a successful catch, so the mouths just kept getting bigger.

They're so big.

And if you spend enough time looking at frog mouth, you'll notice something that also checked the box of like the human evolutionary cute brain.

Their heads appear to be like as big as the whole rest of their body, and that is nearly the case.

And then, if you go to the next level of like, cute brain check marks, turn it into a baby and it becomes suddenly clear that, like Furby's, are infringing on the frog mouth trademark.

Yeah, my heart.

I just want to squish it.

Frog months, however, are terrible parents, possibly because they have such tiny, useless legs.

And also their beaks are so specialized they're just very bad.

At nest building, they often lose eggs or chicks to the perils of that surprise gravity.

They will take advantage of the nests of more careful nest builders or human objects that look like good nest.

So that's even cuter.

What?

The hat, But then wait before I go.

Sometimes they're not cute because they can shape shift frog mouths sleep during the day, and they're pretty small.

So they have to be wary of predators.

And they have in their tool kit a number of ways to deal with this.

The first is that they can just look like logs even will sometimes sway in the wind, like they are a piece of the tree.

But when threatened, they could also change shapes toe like scary looking things or just weird looking like I don't know what to do with this.

And the Tony Frog Mouth of Australia has, like a Plan C and D.

Plan C assist a peck at the Enemy and D is to spray poop all over it.

Array for the tawny frog mouth you shape shifting cryptically disguised poop spraying bug catching nest.

Neglecting grown up bird for B.

I love you, John.

I'll see you on Tuesday.

Also coming up beginning October 28th.

It's pizza, Miss.

It's that time of the year when John and I pretend like it's 2007 and we make videos every single week day we also sell a number of pizza John related products and saw this this morning, and he pointed and said that that and I said It's pizza John And he said, It brings us the pizza so smart.

But I have a product that it wouldn't make sense to sell in October 28th because you need it before then It's the pizza, John.

How we'd Mathis is the worst thing we've ever done, and I love it.

And it's available at dft dot com.

I hope that we seldom.
