They need that pressure, I think, of the ocean at those great depths to survive. So we do see them sometimes when they wash up on the beach dead, but they have been filmed underneath alive. As far as the missing animal, gosh, I don't know.

There's so much talk now about the ivory-billed woodpecker, an animal that was deemed extinct many, many years ago, that there have been some sightings in the swamps of Louisiana. And I know there's people that are dedicating their lives to trying to find that animal. So there's also some talk about the Tasmanian wolf. you know, in Australia, New Guinea, that they've seen that.

So I don't, there it is. See, I told you, that's the giant squid. They actually got some video of it.

Yes, they're huge. They're actually one of the favorite foods of the sperm whale, which is of course a huge whale, but that whale dives like a mile deep to get it. It's unbelievable.

I don't think so. I think a lot of people speculate that they are very intelligent because they are, I think it's the cephalopod family, which is the octopus and squids, which tend to be pretty intelligent in their ability to maneuver and adapt to their environment. The giant squid is, of course, this enormous animal. I mean, like I said, the sperm whale feeds on it.

If you look at shots of sperm whales, sometimes you'll see these circular scars on their face, which are the suction pucks of the squid trying to save themselves while the sperm whale is trying to eat them. And they leave scars with these huge suction pucks on their faces, fantastic stuff.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm not angry. I'm just tired. I was in Tallahassee all day yesterday and up and back in the same day. I didn't get home till, you know, 1130 or so here at work at 6 a.m. So I'm just a little tired, you know, and then, you know, I got a call to be on the show at 1020. And what time is it now? Oh, it's 1040. It's 20 minutes I've been sitting here.

Well, I was talking about animals. We had a couple of animals up there. We're also trying, I'm trying to drive this movement to get the flamingo named the state bird of Florida. You know, listen, I've got nothing against the mockingbird, but the mockingbird is the state bird of Mississippi, of Texas, of six other states.

We have a potential here of having a bird that's iconic, that's always been associated with Florida, and it seems to be a no-brainer to me to make that the national bird of Florida, especially now since it's come back and it's staying here, which is a great reflection of great Everglades restoration, that the birds are coming back and they're staying. It's a win-win.

So, you know, I'm just trying to convince the... help convince the legislators to pass a law to make that the state bird. Are you going to win? Is it an uphill fight? It's an uphill fight, I think, for this session, but I think we got a really good chance next year for the next session. But I wanted to at least plant the seed, help plant the seed. I was working with the Zoo Miami Foundation.
