Collection of selected animals

You can hardly resist the loveliness of animals like squirrel-tailed monkey to get bananas, frogs dancing to erotic .

Did you know that even the editors of dry scientific journals can hardly resist the attractiveness, loveliness of jumping frogs or penguins playing with robots.

So interested in these animals, the Livescience editorial team recently shared a list of cute and clever animals below.

1. The squirrel monkey knows how to get bananas by watching video tutorials

Have you ever thought that squirrel-tailed monkeys living in the wild can absorb puzzle lessons through an educational television program?

This seemingly absurd thing is completely feasible and proved by some experiments with monkeys in Brazil. By using mini cinemas (including a computer screen in a cardboard box), researchers have discovered that marmoset can learn how to open containers and pick up bananas. It is easy after watching the video tutorial.

The video below will help you better understand how these monkeys reap their rewards.

2. Dumbo octopus moves with fins

Researchers have collected some amazing scenes about marine life in the Gulf of Mexico during National Oceangraphic 's expedition and the Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

The highlight of this journey is a rare video of the Dumbo octopus using fins to travel in a spiral.

This octopus is known by the name Dumbo because the fin looks like Dumbo elephant's ears in Disney cartoons. They live in an area close to the ocean floor, at a depth of about 3,000 - 3,900m.

Dumbo octopus is a small animal, about 20cm long and has a pair of fins attached to the top of the head. Fin pairs are the main means for them to move. According to experts, Dumbo octopus often swim close to the ocean floor to search for food sources are small sea creatures such as deep sea, snail .

3. Frogs dance to "erotic"

According to US biology experts, up to 14 species of Micrixalus frogs were discovered in western India this year. This small amphibian is about 13 - 35mm long, found in the 1,600km mountain range from North to South of India.

The common feature of these 14 new frog species is that only male frogs perform 'chi dance' during mating season: the two front limbs and one posterior limb are sustained on the rock surface near the streams, chi. afterwards slowly relaxes, extending the screen of combining 'rock turning' to the back and shrinking.

The 'stone chi' behavior is repeated, while the palate emits a continuous cry to attract females. The bigger male frogs will have stronger and more attractive dance moves.

4. The 8-eye jumping spider spans 25 times its body length

Currently, the jumping spider family (Salticidae) is the largest spider family in the world with over 5,000 species, living mainly in the tropics. Among arthropods, jumping spiders are famous for extremely good foresight.

They have all eight eyes, four of which are at the top, and the other four eyes are arranged at the highest points on the body.

Besides the ability to look great, we cannot help but mention the ability to associate with their own name - dance. Jumping spiders can perform their own launch steps with a length of about 25 times their body length.

A pretty special thing about this spider is that even though they are not spiders, they can still produce silk threads that mark the territory and protect the eggs.

5. "Monkey fly" shy

South American scientists discovered five new Saki monkeys, bringing the total number of Saki monkeys discovered to 16. Saki monkeys or "flying monkeys" have long, bushy tails and are famous for being timid monkeys in the vast Amazon forest.

Despite the unpopular look - the round head, thick fur on the face and head, Saki monkeys have the ability to pass from one branch to another in a flexible manner like flying.

Not only that, these flying monkeys also emit a lot of sounds, low voices, sometimes shouting like sirens - tearing away the quiet atmosphere that focuses on monitoring and threatening the appearance of researchers. zoology.

6. Robot penguin

How can humans penetrate into the army of powerful penguins? The main answer is to use spy robots. And moreover, those robots are also "enchanted" to turn into baby penguins. That's how a team of scientists did to get closer to Antarctica's emperor penguins.

This not so easy-to-approach popular animal suddenly proved quite easy to accept with the 'intruder' . The penguins really let the penguin robot approach close enough to read the name on their ID card, some even talked to the penguin robot.
