E.T.I. (Eggstraterrestrial Intelligence)

Evolution at work! New Zealand birds are evolving protective camouflage.


They thought they were being so smart, constructing nests to look like sweetcorn tins and boxes of cheese, even down to the labels! Well it might fool predators but the ornithologists from the Biodiversity Museum were not so easily deceived.

Speaking of birds'-nests, US dollar notes are not completely valueless...
