From here. If you think arachnids with long legs are just scary please watch this solifugid dig her nest (or try to) like SUCH a goofy little person creature. Look how she shoves dirt with her mouth and then gives it a little pat. He

Today's bird is Andy N. Condor!

Behold the beautiful Great Blue Turaco (Corythaeola cristata)! Growing up to 30 in (76.2 cm) long, this forest-dwelling bird can be found in parts of Central and West Africa such as Uganda and Guinea. It feeds on a diet that includes fruits, leaves, and insects. While it isn’t a long-distance flier, this bird uses its wings to flutter through the trees—rarely descending to the ground. It can most often be spotted in small groups.
