10 Spooky Creatures Named after Monsters - And How They Got Their Names

[@princebloodgrave8097]

Dracula ant, Dracula parrot, and the Dracula snail. :D Also the Witch Hazel tree.

[@GreenPoint_one]

Part 2 yay :3

[@jacobshallenberger5213]

Also a dragon ant, Vampire orchid, vampire ant, the entire orchid genus is named after a Greek god! The genus heliocanthus is named after the Greek god helios, the regal moths caterpillar is called the hickory horned devil! There’s so many!

[@graphite2786]

Also the Ghost sharks Black ghost knife fish Satanic Nightjar Vampire finch Goblin shark Ghoul fish Brown snout Spookfish ( which is a really remarkable critter!) HELLbender Blood pheasant And then there's all them fungi species- Witches butter Dead man's fingers Devil teeth Bleeding Tooth

[@jeremyholden2782]

Nice one. You could probably squeak out another one before Halloween. Fairly recently in SEAsia there has been Beelzebub bat, Vampire flying frog and Nepenthes diabolica. And in England, ghost orchid flowered for the first time in a while after presumptions it was extinct. A few new Rafflesia lately, too, also known as bunga bankai in Bahasa.

[@cjthebeesknees]

“squeak out” 😂

Referencing Acherontia, not your vocals

[@XeroChilll]

A body-horror themed video about parasites would be perfect for the spooky season

[@on9luddite]

Had a Death’s-head Hawkmoth flying around in my room in the middle of the night here in SEA… caught it and released it back out 😮‍💨

[@elibrocker4868]

I have seen them here too

[@omanyte9972]

There are many others too. For example, White Witch moth, Paradise Phantom butterfly, Ghost tree (Sterculia urens), the Dead Man's fingers fungi (Xylaria polymorpha), etc.

[@Weirdoeevee]

Loved this one! Was hoping you'd do vampire squid. The Octopus Lady did a great informative video on them you should check out. A collab between you two would be so awesome. Ideas for other spooky things: maybe a video on cryptids and what real life animals they may be? Kracken and Colossal Squid. Chupacabra and hairless bear. Etc.

[@all.about.nature1987]

Great idea! Thanks!

[@Weirdoeevee]

@all.about.nature1987 very welcome! I always look forward to your videos!

[@lindamurdoch9888]

Such great weird and wonderful things. And the creak was a fun touch

[@CrowSkeleton]

Of course Australia has mammal-eating bats. Of course it does.

[@DS.proudkiwi]

NZ has some cool little bats that instead of flying they crawl around eating snails and worms and stuff. They NZs only native land mammal.....not that it's a big flex but they pretty cool .

[@MrDragon7742]

Hey at least our flying foxes are vegetarian

Death head hawk moth caterpillars are also impressive by their size. I saw one for the first time this year, I've never seen a caterpillar so big ! They're quite rare here in western France.

[@milknhoneyhoney]

They’re huge, I love to see them!!

[@AncientWildTV]

they are rare in western france? why is that so?

[@helenesimon5188]

@@AncientWildTV it's too cold for them. They sometimes arrived here but were not breeding. It's so new to see caterpillars of this species here that they make it to the newspaper ! Climate change

[@stuartyablon7184]

Excellent photography

The creepy creaking door. Good job

this is such great spooky season topic!! some of these are genuinely some real life monsters no hate to them but oof

[@GreenPoint_one]

The ghost bat is a interesting one. I remember this docu about life after humans and there were predatory giant bats hunting in north america, in a desert like australia too :3

[@abhijit5225]

Like how is it over there these days, I remember the war on the news back when I was a kid , there was some girl that was a refugee from there and was in the news all the time. Is it pretty chill now or is it still pretty touchy

[@nightmarehound]

Maybe more carrion related animal stuff? Like about horn stalkball mushrooms, carrion flies and beetles etc, or parasitic/weird looking plants like Yellow bird's nest, doll's eye, bleeding tooth, devils fingers etc!

[@AncientWildTV]

I have never heard about the doll's eye ... sound interesting

[@nathanwolber4503]

The lizard clade Monstersauria comes to mind

[@EvieProbably]

"...have faces not even a mother could love." "Their heads are flat and *slightly depressed*..." Well, it's no wonder! Their mothers don't love their faces; I'd be depressed too!

[@rattyfloppy]

Hello AllAboutNature! Im from the Philippines and I just saw a bird on the ground with brown feathers and a green beak. Do you know what kind of bird it is? (It looks flightless)

[@CobyCartwright-ux7rs]

We love Money Bats in the Bahamas lol

[@televisor_klik]

Moths reminded me of the time I saw a hawk moth and confused it with a colibri. I live in eastern europe and idk why but was more convinced that this was a colibri then colibri sized moth with giant trunk(?)

[@snoutysnouterson]

Than, not then.

Nothing compared to the most monstrous beast…. Crash bandicoot Or there’s also a spider named after a kaiju, Kumonga of the Godzilla series

[@CookieCrewmateSpaceGuy]

Do you take requests?

[@all.about.nature1987]

@@CookieCrewmateSpaceGuy Any request from a Patron I try to do. And often I also make videos based on what commenters say. What are you thinking?

[@CookieCrewmateSpaceGuy]

I don’t know how to access Patron, so I’ll just make my request here. I hope that’s alright. 5 animal subspecies that turned out to be separate species. Or if you prefer, 5 animal subspecies that were once considered separate species. I thought that either of these would be an interesting idea for a video, if you like them.

[@sarahmoorcroft8826]

Am I the only one who thinks the satanic lead tailed geckos are adorable?? Another one for this list is the thorny devil, with the scientific name moloch horridis

[@MKLettis]

I'm glad that jumping wasp is extinct. The flying ones are bad enough.
