Biodiversity crush of the day: the Midas tamarin!
It can be found in Brazil, the Guyanas, Suriname and Venezuela. Territorial and aggressive despite the cuteness, it gets one of its many names from the story of king Midas.

Biodiversity crush of the day: the sunbittern!
This magnificent bird lives in the tropical areas of South America. It evolved to mimic two large eyes through its feather pattern — just as some moths and butterflies did: this phenomenon is called convergent evolution. Another example is the resemblance between the wings of bats and birds, that evolved separately but achieved the same overall shape in the end.
