Bleiman Brothers Profile
In the wild, Andrew feeds on fish, sponges, small crustaceans, nematode worms and protozoans.
Benny's diet is very specialized, consisting mainly of the interior of Ramy nuts, nectar from the Traveller's Palm tree, some fungi and insect grubs. He is also known to raid coconut plantations, and has been seen eating lychees and mangoes, which are also plantation crops.

Unbelievable... The Octopus even matches the textural quality of the 'sea-shrub'. Do we know if it can match other plants? Or only that particular one?

I always thought hummingbirds were peace loving creatures...

they can match pretty much anything. i saw one disguise itself as a ferris wheel once.

I enjoyed your St. Paddy's concept. I don't think the hummer's a Green Hermit, though. Looks like a plain old Ruby-throat to me. The Gecko's a Gold Dust Day Gecko (Phelsuma laticauda)from Madagascar.
