This made me laugh. The bower bird builds and decorates a palace to attract a mate. He uses leaves, beetle shells and beautiful flowers in a stunning display.

When you can have a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrmi5UV6-wk Stephen Fry's "Last Chance" - Kakapo is worth watching I feel. Every night for approx 6 months the Kakapo booms for a female. Marker 39.00 approx shows male's "bowl"... Marker 47.44 approx is so funny.

6 months

That clip always raises a smile for me. It's a marvellous series, imo.

Sirocco is simply a star!

Not exactly 'nice' but very interesting nonetheless.

Also not 'nice', but is nature preparing to deal with radical feminists?

https://www.rt.com/viral/363945-mill...oison-species/

Explorers in California have discovered a new species of creepy crawly boasting 200 poison glands, four penises and 414 legs.

The ‘illacme tobini’ is a type of millipede and was found living in marble caves in Sequoia National Park high in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
Also interesting that a new species was discovered in a relatively popular area, but then I guess most people who may have seen it before weren't entomologists and just assumed it was a plain'ol millipede.

Not cute, not cuddly but simply awe-inspiring.

A brutal battle for dominance between the biggest male Komodo Dragons that I have ever seen on film - they must be pushing 90 kgs each.

Planet Earth II is going to be simply fantastic viewing.

Again not exactly nice - but very interesting, and the best place to put these articles.
