Moonwalking Birds Video

Topic Categories: Streaming videos
Posted on: June 1, 2006 11:59 AM, by "GrrlScientist"


Several times in the past, I've linked to Kim Bostwick's research with South American manakins from Birds in the News, but now there is a streaming slow-motion video of her moonwalking manakins (click for alternate video source), complete with music. At certain times of the day, there is high demand for this video, so you might have to return later to view it.

When I first saw that video, I would have sworn the bird was CG. It's crazy how fake something real can look.

Wow! That video crashed my FireFox, but it was worth firing up Safari just to see it!
