20 Animals of the DARIÉN So Strange It Seems Impossible They Exist | Animal Documentary In the Darién, the strip of jungle at the eastern tip of Panama where two continents touched about three million years ago, some of the strangest animals in the Americas still live almost unseen. In this countdown from twenty to one, we travel from the lowland forests and great rivers up to the misty mountains, meeting a butterfly with an owl's eyes on its wings, a golden beetle that turns red in seconds, ants that glide backward to their own tree, a rodent that steals its neighbors' buried seeds, a bird that cracks its wings faster than a blink, a laughing falcon that eats venomous snakes, a lizard that runs on water, a bat that sleeps head up stuck on with suction cups, and a worm that shoots glue. Stay to the end for number one, a glass frog with a transparent body that hides its red blood inside its liver while it sleeps, a secret science only uncovered in twenty twenty-two.
