00:00Scientists can't explain how this animal does this.
00:03The two-tailed pasha butterfly has two separate tails instead of one,
00:08and it uses them to trick predators into attacking the wrong end of its body.
00:13Wait, animals can do that.
00:15This European butterfly evolved this insane defense mechanism
00:19where the false tail looks exactly like its head.
00:22So when a bird strikes, it bites nothing but wing scales,
00:26and the butterfly escapes.
00:28And it gets even crazier.
00:30This butterfly is the largest in all of Europe,
00:32with a wingspan up to three inches,
00:34making those fake tails even more convincing.
00:37Nature is unreal.
