Hailing from the amazon rainforest is a lily pad so big a human can sit on it. On this episode we take a look at the Victoria Lily.
Discovered in 1801 this lily was first called Eurgale Amazonica. In 1837 john Lindley published the first description of the Victoria lily, changing the name to honor Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom.
Being an uncooperative plant among others in nature, usually lilies will filter light from the surface which allows algae to grow. The Victoria lily is so dense that no light penetrates through their skin making life dark and unlivable for many species of plants and animals that inhabit the same waters as this plant. To top it off, the underside of these massive lilies are covered in sharp spikes that keep herbivorous fish from eating them.
Measuring 10 feet or 3 meters in diameter this lily not only has huge leaves but a massive stalk under the water. The stalk reaches 26 feet or 8 meters tall that attaches to the soil at the bottom of the pond.
This plant has a unique pollination process, a flower on the surface of the water will bloom for just 48 hours. It’ll open up to attract a beetle, once a beetle is within the petals of the flower it’ll snap shut holding the beetle hostage for 24 hours. The next day the beetle will be released to go pollinate a different flower. After the mission is complete the flower closes and retracts back under the water.

Deep in the swamps of Africa is a bird that looks like it was put together from pieces of other animals. On this episode of world’s weirdest animals, we bring you the Shoebill.
Looking like a real life version of Donald Duck, the shoebill, shoe-billed stork or whalehead as it’s called stands 5 feet or 1.5 meters tall and is 4 feet or 1.2 meters long. They weigh in around 9 to 15 lbs or 4 to 7 kg. Their strong neck, legs, bill and broad wings look like a smash up of different animals like a stork, eagle and flamingo. They have bluish grey feathers and a wingspan of up to 8 feet or 2.5 meters wide. They get their name from their shoe shaped beak hence the shoebill. The bill itself is often streaked with erratic grey markings and measure 9 inches or 2 decimeters long by 4 inches or 1 decimeter wide. A nail-like hook on the end of the beak is used to kill their prey, it is so sharp that they often use the hook to decapitate their lunch
.
This bird often called a statue like bird, attacks at night from a still state. They stand motionless for hours waiting for the precise moment to unleash their lightning speed, strength and pin point accuracy to make a catch. Their diet consists of amphibians, lizards, snakes, fish, rats and baby crocodiles. Catfish and lungfish are favorites of the shoebill which predominantly lives in the great lakes region of africa. They are found in large swamps from Sudan to Zambia with sightings in other parts of Africa. While they primarily hunt in swamps they have been rarely found to be foraging among rice fields and flooded plantations. Shoebills employ the help of hippopotamus to catch their prey. The hippos force fish to the surface of the water with their movement making an easy lunch for the shoebill.
They live solo their whole lives except when they mate and care for their young. They mate during the dry season to protect their young from flooding. Females will lay up to 3 eggs in their nests among the swamp grass. These eggs will hatch after their 30 day incubation period breathing life to babies with brown fur. Once born they can’t stand up until they are at least 2 months old, the mothers will feed them until they start hunting for themselves at 3 and half months old. Up until this point they rely on their mother to bring them food and water. Within the nest baby shoebills will fight for dominance which will lead to the mother choosing to feed one over the other. Shoebills don’t nest in colonies like other large birds like pelicans, storks and herons and only 3 nests will be found for every 1 sq km or 0.4 sq miles. The shoebill will reach sexual maturity by 4 years old and can live up to 35 years in the wild. They can make a variety of different sounds. Shoebills generally stay silent but can make high pitch whines or can utter a cow like moo sound. Currently classified as vulnerable the shoebill’s numbers are healthy for the time being but will likely decline into a endangered state if changes aren’t made to protect their habitat.
They remained undetected until the 1850s due to their keen ability to avoid human interaction. Since then we’ve learned all sorts of things about this unique bird but nothing as bizarre as the fact that they deficate on themselves to stay cool. This warm blooded animal utilizes their liquidy poo as a way to keep their legs cool in the hot african sun.

Most Expensive Islands on Earth:
10. North Aegean Island
-This giant island, off the coast of Greece, is located only 30 minutes to Athens.
-This is a great island if you’re looking to have the conveniences of Athens but with your own private island paradise.
-This island is 86 acres in size, which is huge, costs $37,094.623 and is a freehold island, meaning you outright own the land.
-The landscape is quite dry and barren in some places and more lush in others.

Born from German engineering is a Solar RV like no other. On this episode we bring you the future of sustainable RV’s.
Created by German company Dethleffs, this rv known as “e.home” has no gasoline engine just an electric one. Powered by a full array of solar panels mounted on all sides of the RV the e.home is for those people who are looking to take to the road with no destination in mind.
This RV is built on Dethleffs’s Iveco Daily Electric chassis featuring 107 horsepower from it’s electric motor. Its range is 100 miles or 161 km without considering the solar panels plastered across nearly every square inch of the rv which will charge as you drive. The solar panels can generate 3,000 watts of power which it stores to a 228-ah battery.
The solar kit is made up of victron energy products which can power all your electronics like your phone with a dc converter. This is made possible by the included charge controller and ac inverter which also charges the lithium ion batteries.
Here’s a top down schematic for all of you that can read german.
