another you are going to love this
you may know that the majority of animals on earth by far
are in sacks see think I've seen bugs are
this is from the Southwest US desert it's called the blue
death feigning beetle not thinking training
now the burning moody obtaining beetle what do I mean while the sun's out
exploring
this one when I picked it up rolled over and play dead I mean really dead it was
all for the better
no man alive hope that people are dead but now as you can see they're both up
in going exploring
like a lot of the beetle that come from the desert they're very hard shelled
imparted that is that helps conserve moisture
they live where there's really no water to drink to get the moisture that they
are able to consume from the do on the plants in the morning
okay you may be wondering why do the sometimes pretend to be dead because you
can see this one is doing it again
through the perfect little morsel for a birder reptile the heat in the desert
but think about possums do it some snakes do it these guys are pros at
if you were out getting something to eat there be two things that you be doing
one is you be looking for movement they're hard to actually see
but once they're moving the predator spot but in addition to that
if you had to choose would you get a nice juicy healthy-looking active one
or some poor sad desiccated looking thing with his legs sticking up
I mean you probably skip the dead one right you might be getting probably died
some
dreadful thing I might catch to the great trick in clearly it's worked well
cuz they live all over in the west
when you come to the Cincinnati Zoo next time richard is that are in sectarian
we have the largest collection and living in sacks anywhere
in the world here at the Cincinnati Zoo with the Deaf painting Beatles
