Here are animals who are basically evil geniuses!
12 - Male Cuttlefish These days if you're single, meeting a potential
partner is easier than ever before.
There's Tinder, Bumble, OkCupid, and there's even Bumble Bff, where you can find people
just to hang out!
No more of the old fashion way of just meeting people through your friends or people who
just happen to be around you.
Essentially, be thankful you're not a male Cuttlefish.
Granted,you'd have pretty cool camouflaging skills if you were, but check out what some
of the guys have to do in order to find a partner!
Some male cuttlefish are too small to fight for a mate, so they have to have a sneaky
plan if they wanna get the ladies.
In order to fool their fellow larger males, male Cuttlefish will disguise half of his
body to look like a female to the male cuttlefish, while he'll keep on displaying his male
patterns to the female cuttlefish!
The larger male therefore thinks he's in luck with two females!
As long as the smaller male avoids being grabbed in the typical cuttlefish mating embrace,
the smaller camouflaged male cuttlefish is safe.
Meanwhile, the actual female, who isn't too picky, mates with the smaller, sneaky
male right in front of the large male!
The eggs she now lays will contain a mixture of sperm from both fathers, giving her eggs
the best possible chance of success!
How do you guys feel about this mating strategy?!
What would you guys do if you found out some lady you hit on weren't actually female?!

And oh yeah, do us a big favor and hit the like button, right here!
11 - Pacific Striped Octopus You know that old trick where kids reach around
and tap someone on their far shoulder to try and make them look the other way?
Well, in the ocean, the Pacific Striped Octopus employs that exact same strategy in order
to catch food!
Anytime they get hungry for shrimp, these octopus swim right up to them, reach their
tentacles around and tap the shrimp on the back.
This pretty much freaks the shrimp out, who think there's some threat right behind them.
So they swim to get away….right into the trap of the clever Octopus.
Not only is this very sneaky, it's also an unusual hunting method for an octopus.
Whereas other Octopus species tend to just snag their dinner with their long tentacles,
the larger, and perhaps less agile Pacific Striped Octopus prefers this sneaky approach.
Wanna hear something else that's weird?
Of course you do!
When mating, the males keep their mates at tentacles reach to avoid being eaten.
Welcome to the weird and wacky world of a Pacific Striped Octopus!
10 - Boxer Crabs Boxer Crabs have teamed up with sea anemones
to form one of nature's most interesting symbiotic relationships.
Armed with stinging tentacles that can wreak some serious havoc, the sea anemones provide
a useful weapon to the boxer crabs.
The crabs literally use the aneomes as weapons to fend off predators.
While it may look like the crabs are just waving around colorful pom poms, it's actually
a very effective survival tactic.
And for their efforts, the anemones get fed…...for free.
The boxer crabs, grateful for the services provided by the anemones, help them collect
food.
So it's a classic case of "if you let me use you as a deadly weapon, I'll help
you use your tentacles to collect and eat food."
Hey wait a minute, this isn't evil at all!!!
Maybe they're great friends!
9 - Bowerbirds If you look up the definition of petty, maybe
there should be a picture of a bowerbird.
These guys meticulously make their own nests and will go out of their way to destroy the
nests of other birds!
That's petty to the max don't you think?!
Bowerbirds primarily make their homes in Australia and Papua New Guinea in a range of different
habitats, such as rainforests and shrublands.
And despite their harmless, bird next door type of look, these creatures are quite mischievous.
As a means of courting female birds, the male birds build really elaborate nests.
I mean, they'll decorate these things with any object they can get their beaks on.
Flowers, grass, plastic debris...you name it.
This apparently is a turn on for all the pretty birds and males with great nests often attract
great mating prospects.
Things get so competitive during mating season that the males will go out of their way to
sabotage their rival's nest in order to make theirs stand out.
Do these guys ever have wingmen?!
I guess it's that weird combination of male testosterone and domestic taste that make
the male bowerbirds so attractive to the ladies.
8 - Cuckoos The award for being one of nature's worst
parents should probably go to the Cuckoos.
These deadbeat birds literally trick other birds into raising their young!
They barge into another species bird's nest, leave their eggs, and peace out.
Cuckoos have various strategies for getting their eggs into a host nest.
Different species of cuckoos use different strategies, which are based on host defensive
strategies.
Female cuckoos have secretive and fast laying behaviors, but in some cases, males have been
shown to lure host adults away from their nests so that the female can lay her egg in
the nest!
However, some birds are able to distinguish cuckoo eggs from their own, leading to those
eggs getting thrown out of the nest.
It's also been shown that some female cuckoos will lay their egg in the nest of a host that
has eggs that look similar to its own.
Other species of cuckoo lay "cryptic" eggs, which are eggs that are dark in color when
the host eggs are light.
This is just a trick to hide the parasitic egg from the host, and it's seen in cuckoos
that parasitize hosts with nests that their eggs blend in with.
More often than not, the cuckoos emerge victorious from the responsibilities of child rearing
and just go about their lives!
7 - Margay In 2005 scientists watched in amazement as
a Margay cat in the Amazon Jungle imitated the distress call of a baby pied tamarin monkey.
This was really just a ruse to lure the monkey parents into a trap.
Once the concerned monkey parents came to investigate, the margay pounced on the monkeys,
although it was unsuccessful.
The monkeys saw the cat pretty quickly and were able to get away!
To date, it's the only known incident of these cats resorting to such measures….but
that's not to say they haven't tried before, or won't try again.
Either way, using the sound of a baby monkey in order to pounce on the parents?!
Not gonna lie, that's pretty devious!
6 - Indonesian Temple Macaques Do you guys know how science is always saying
that humans and primates are related?
Well, at the very least, the Macaques share a few of our traits, such as that weird combination
of greed and ingenuity.
A group of Macaques living near the Uluwatu Temple in Indonesia run a Mafia like organization
where they actually steal items from tourists, only giving the items back when they're
offered food!
The amazing thing here, isn't the fact that these monkeys can identify valuable items,
such as purses, cameras and even cash.
I mean, don't get me wrong, that's pretty wild.
But even more amazing, is that this isn't a behavior that other Macaques do elsewhere.
Meaning, this is a learned behavior by a colony of monkeys, and not something innate within
their DNA.
Staff members working near the temple often act as mediators, offering crackers to the
monkeys in order for them to release the tourists items.
And while this bizarre and criminal like behavior is isolated for now, hopefully other monkeys
won't pick up on this behavior!
5 - The Black Heron No one can control the weather.
But The Black Heron comes pretty close.
In fact, it kind of sounds like a comic book villain….The Black Heron.
Anyways, it looms over the water spreading its wings blocking sunlight.
This tricks fish into thinking it's night so when they come to the surface to feed,
they get eaten by the Black Heron!
That's like if you showed up at a Seafood restaurant to eat fish, and a giant shark
ate you instead.
Yeahhhhhh…..pretty devious.
Found mostly in Madagascar and parts of Eastern Africa, they lurk near shallow waters, employing
that devious method of hunting, also known as canopy fishing.
Small fish often thinking it's dinner time swim to the surface where they become the
dinner for a Black Heron.
4 - The Assassin Bug If you learn anything from this video, just
know that the Assassin Bug, or the Kissing Bug as they're sometimes known, will suck
out the blood of their prey.
Yeahhhhhhhh.
Ugh.
In 1839, Charles Darwin was one of the first people ever to write about these bugs in The
Voyage of the Beagle.
He was apparently bitten by one of these guys while exploring the Western United States.
He observed how the bugs were flat and thin, but once they took a bite of human flesh,
they would become round and bloated within minutes.
Much like vampires, the assassin bug will lay low during the day.
But once the sun goes down, they're ready to look for prey.
As if that's not freaky enough, it's even one of the main culprits for Chagas Disease.
In the early 1900's Dr. Carlos Chaga figured out that these bugs were the cause of symptoms
that included fevers, headaches and swollen lymph nodes.
However, some people bitten would experience symptoms up to THIRTY years after the initial
bite!
This disease is almost exclusive to South America and Mexico and currently affects around
6 million people.
So let's think about that again for a minute.
People could be affected with a parasitic disease decades after being bitten!
3 - The Orchid Mantis Now, you'd probably think that there's
virtually nothing threatening about a pretty little flower.
Well the Orchid Mantis is banking on that misconception.
Found in the rainforests of Southeast Asia in countries such as Malaysia and Thailand,
these little insects are pretty good at camouflaging themselves.
By disguising themselves as flowers, they not only elude predators, but they also attract
flies to prey on for themselves.
They climb up onto the flower, and sway back and forth.
This attracts flies who think that the "flower" is a good spot to pollinate.
However, they've fallen into a trap where an Orchid Mantis is waiting to for lunch.
Weirdly enough, only the females can do this.
The smaller male is smaller and cunning enough to hunt down their prey the old fashioned
way, because they aren't masters of disguise like their female counterparts.
2 - Dolphins It's long been common knowledge that Dolphins
are really smart animals.
They're so smart, they've been recruited to work for the military!
Like humans they can teach each other things and they can learn and adapt new behaviors.
One thing they love to do is, they like to have fun.
And one of their ways of having fun is to terrorize a pufferfish!
The BBC documentary "Spy in the Pod" showed dolphins masterfully handling a toxic pufferfish.
Dolphins have figured out how to extract puffer fish toxins just for fun!
The fact that they handle the fish with a certain degree of expertise, suggests to Marine
Biologists that Dolphins have been doing this for quite some time.
What's usually a pretty effective defense mechanism for the pufferfish has become a
source of entertainment for dolphins.
In large amounts, these toxins are fatal.
But in small doses, it creates more of a narcotic effect.
Dolphins know this and exploit it by chewing on pufferfish and passing them around to each
other.
Apparently, dolphins basically just float around staring at their own reflection after
they've got some tetrodotoxin!
What do you think?
Is the dolphin truly an evil genius?!

1 - Drongos For most of us, food is relatively easy to
come by.
But of course, out in the wild, getting food often requires trickery or hunting prowess.
The Drongos prefer trickery.
Found mostly in Africa, the Drongo has mastered the art of tricking other birds into abandoning
their food so that they themselves can eat it.
Generally speaking, these birds eat food the old fashioned way.
You know, by trapping insects and getting up early to get worms.
But sometimes food is scarce.
When that happens they start getting a little desperate.
Taking up the role as Desert watchdogs, or in this case watch birds, they'll sound
the alarm that a predator is lurking nearby.
Except, they're liars.
There usually isn't a predator and the drongos just want the other birds to get scared off.
And here's where it gets even more impressive.
Sometimes the other birds are having none of that.
So the Drongos have figured out how to expertly mimic the call of a Meerkat...which other
birds either believe, or aren't about to wait around to see if the Drongo is just being
crying wolf again.
So once the coast is the clear, the Drongo swoops in and takes the food.
Survival
of the fittest, right?
