Ladies, gentlemen and Friends Beyond the Binary Welcome to what is, without a doubt, the most recent sideshow quiz show we've ever filmed.

Today we have Jo Hanson from Hot Mess, the coolest climate show on YouTube, about how climate change affects us all.

You may also know him from another project.

It's I think it's good to be here so far.

It may also know him from thinking he's me or I'm him, which has been a lot of my life, probably more of my life than yours.

I don't normally feel short, I know, but I feel short.

Joe is facing off against Hank Green, who, you may know from such places as the Internet and this YouTube channel.

It's true our contestants will be battling for some sweet prizes, not for themselves but for two patri on patrons we've selected at random.

Joe, you're competing on behalf of Sara Fritz.

Each of you begin with 1000 sideshow points.

If you answer incorrectly, you'll lose some number of points.

You tend to lose less than you win, so it's kind of good to try.

Yeah, and this button is involved in something.

And that's how you decide who's gonna answer the question.

Wouldn't commit buzz in as soon as we wait for all the bugs before I ask questions while he's very confident.

So whoever emerges from the last round with the most points wins their patrons.

Stephan show our contestants what they could go home with today.

Ah, welcome to the prize Own the magical corner of magical prices and magical magic.

All right, let's get down to business, shall we?

Sarah and Mike, both of you're taking home some autographed cards from the final round today, but the winner is going to receive the I once I show quiz show pin and a no expenses paid 10 day trip to Hawaii.

What do you think of that person who looks suspiciously like me?

Well, if it's a no expenses paid trip, then you're basically just telling someone they should plan a trip to Hawaii, I guess which is a nice suggestion, but it's not really a prize.

And last time I checked, we were in the prize zone.

All right, if you need me again, I'll be over here.

I thought we had fun clone in the building today, not logic clone.

Anyway, you're getting a lovely pin and a suggestion to take a trip to Hawaii.

But if you happen to be lucky enough to lose today, you're taking home the I lost sideshow quiz show pin.

And I guess I also suggest that you take a trip to Hawaii.

Maybe you guys could both meet up on the beach and take a selfie with a turtle.

Now, this episode for no reason in particular, is about mimics twins and doppelgangers.

This seems totally random first round mill ident.

Ical cousins Round number one minute Cree is not too uncommon in the animal world.

For example, animals might mimic other, more poisonous animals to ward off predators.

Or they might resemble plant matter in hopes that a predator will pass them over.

This question, though, is about a bird native to the Amazon rainforest.

It's young mimic something you might not expect in order to discourage predators from seeing the nestlings as a tasty snack.

Predation is the main reason that baby birds who haven't left the nest yet don't make it to adulthood.

And unfortunately, this bird called the scenario.

Mourner has a relatively long nesting cycle, but it's found a way to make d'oh.

Researchers began to suspect something was up when they noticed that young scenarios Mourners are strangely brightly colored compared to the adults.

Adult birds are a dull gray, but their young are a bright orange.

Combine that with the youngs long, bristly white tip feathers, and scientists reasoned that this was likely a form of mimic re.

Maybe they were trying to blend in and resemble a moss covered fruit.

The answer started to become clear when scientists realised that the bird shared a habitat with certain toxic caterpillars, ones belonging to the family.

Mega lo pigeon t these air the same furry orange caterpillars known for their uncanny resemblance to a certain public figures.

Infamous Orin Shoot Comb over, and they're covered in nasty spines.

In a 2015 paper, researchers reported that not only does the Baby Mourner look like the Caterpillar, but when disturbed, the baby actually bobs and weaves like the caterpillar does.

They considered this convincing evidence of a bird mimicking and insect to piggyback off its toxic properties.

Question being fully have sat answered, asked I could name the blurred if you want to go home with one year, it's a sign eeriest mourner.

You didn't realize your epic Instead, I don't.

I'm not a part of this is going to get worse from honestly, I did not think is gonna go well for me, ever.

So question, too resembling toxic species is a really common strategy, but we can go deeper.

The Mimic octopus is one of the most talented imitators of the natural world and has been observed pretending to be a sea snake, the lionfish, a flatfish and tons of other animals.

But even this master of disguise can be beaten at its own game because researchers have caught an organism that uses this mimic for camouflage.

Was this interloper a coral, another octopus, a fish or a jellyfish?
