00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.347 align:middle line:90%


00:00:00.347 --> 00:00:02.430 align:middle line:84%
And that's what you can
see with a point and shoot

00:00:02.430 --> 00:00:06.302 align:middle line:90%
camera and the naked eye.

00:00:06.302 --> 00:00:08.010 align:middle line:84%
That's what you can
see with a high speed

00:00:08.010 --> 00:00:11.010 align:middle line:84%
shooter and multiple flashes
and a lifetime's devotion.

00:00:11.010 --> 00:00:15.280 align:middle line:90%


00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:16.155 align:middle line:90%
Isn't that gymnastic?

00:00:16.155 --> 00:00:17.700 align:middle line:90%
I really like what she does.

00:00:17.700 --> 00:00:24.470 align:middle line:90%


00:00:24.470 --> 00:00:27.650 align:middle line:90%
That one's called the snowcap.

00:00:27.650 --> 00:00:30.921 align:middle line:84%
Those are the poison
dart frogs, ranitas.

00:00:30.921 --> 00:00:35.540 align:middle line:90%


00:00:35.540 --> 00:00:36.920 align:middle line:84%
And that's what
an artist thought

00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:39.320 align:middle line:84%
about when he saw the
poison dart frog, or she.

00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:41.960 align:middle line:90%


00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:44.340 align:middle line:90%
This guy was so amazing.

00:00:44.340 --> 00:00:47.120 align:middle line:84%
We estimate that if he were
stretched out full length,

00:00:47.120 --> 00:00:49.040 align:middle line:84%
he'd be about a little
bit taller than I am.

00:00:49.040 --> 00:00:56.020 align:middle line:90%


00:00:56.020 --> 00:00:57.970 align:middle line:84%
I didn't blame these
guys for cooling off,

00:00:57.970 --> 00:00:59.620 align:middle line:84%
but look what was
around the next bend.

00:00:59.620 --> 00:01:05.440 align:middle line:90%


00:01:05.440 --> 00:01:08.590 align:middle line:90%
Time for siesta.

00:01:08.590 --> 00:01:11.590 align:middle line:90%
Lots of people taking siestas.

00:01:11.590 --> 00:01:15.190 align:middle line:84%
Here's another great word
for you, murciélagos.

00:01:15.190 --> 00:01:18.260 align:middle line:90%
Isn't that fun to say?

00:01:18.260 --> 00:01:19.970 align:middle line:90%
And some of them fish.

00:01:19.970 --> 00:01:23.070 align:middle line:90%


00:01:23.070 --> 00:01:25.758 align:middle line:84%
And that's what an artist's
idea of the bats are,

00:01:25.758 --> 00:01:28.050 align:middle line:84%
and I like that they have
crocodiles under their wings.

00:01:28.050 --> 00:01:35.430 align:middle line:90%


00:01:35.430 --> 00:01:38.490 align:middle line:84%
They look like jewelry,
but they're all butterflies

00:01:38.490 --> 00:01:39.270 align:middle line:90%
waiting to happen.

00:01:39.270 --> 00:01:44.350 align:middle line:90%


00:01:44.350 --> 00:01:48.570 align:middle line:84%
This is a particular
kind of butterfly

00:01:48.570 --> 00:01:52.185 align:middle line:84%
that is very good at
camouflage, and when it opens up

00:01:52.185 --> 00:01:53.460 align:middle line:90%
it looks like that.

00:01:53.460 --> 00:01:59.230 align:middle line:90%


00:01:59.230 --> 00:02:01.990 align:middle line:90%
"Blue Morpho."

00:02:01.990 --> 00:02:06.250 align:middle line:84%
At rest, false eyes
spot us, your legs

00:02:06.250 --> 00:02:10.870 align:middle line:84%
tasting half fermented
mango, rippling proboscis

00:02:10.870 --> 00:02:14.020 align:middle line:90%
sipping rancid juice.

00:02:14.020 --> 00:02:21.880 align:middle line:84%
One startled slash, bright
shimmer, ocean 60 feet down,

00:02:21.880 --> 00:02:28.540 align:middle line:84%
earth seen from space,
longing held too long,

00:02:28.540 --> 00:02:34.240 align:middle line:84%
song of one long
gone, that blue.

00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:39.130 align:middle line:84%
Not what you absorb but
what you can't take in.

00:02:39.130 --> 00:02:42.900 align:middle line:84%
That's what we see
of your beauty.

00:02:42.900 --> 00:02:45.000 align:middle line:90%
