Craziest Animal Illusions (Nat Geo Kids)

Watch this full episode of You're Called What?!, "The Great Animal Illusion", on Nat Geo Kids YouTube! Nature is full of illusions that some animals use to incredible effect. Peppermint stick insects disappear into their environment, relying on camouflage to avoid detection. Leaf scorpionfish sway like fallen leaves in the water, blending in while waiting to ambush prey. Harlequin ghost pipefish mimic reef organisms so convincingly that they’re almost impossible to spot. Meanwhile, the duck-billed platypus challenges expectations with its unusual mix of features, making it one of the most puzzling animals on Earth. Each of these species shows how disguise, mimicry and misdirection can turn the tide in the fight for survival. 0:00 Intro 1:09 Peppermint Stick Insect 3:24 Fiddler Crab 5:47 A Group of Lemurs 7:49 Platypus ID Crisis 10:00 Knob-Tailed Gecko 11:58 The Jellyfish Family 13:51 Harlequin Ghost Pipefish 15:47 Burrowing Bettong 17:20 A Group Sharks 19:08 Catfish 21:08 Dragonet 23:11 Pronghorn 25:00 Leaf Scorpionfish Watch more episodes of You're Called What?! here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZTyfSGylwig Available on Disney+ https://www.disneyplus.com/whats-on/entity-d7ee0eb7-219c-4212-ba87-1bc747ba9348 ➡ Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@natgeokids About National Geographic: Nat Geo Kids is the ultimate destination for fun, educational videos for kids who love to explore.
