there was a swedish guy in like the early 1900s that literally just traveled to Australia, attended a funeral of an indigenous person and then HE CAME BACK A FEW WEEKS LATER TO DIG UP THE BONES TO KEEP IN HIS COLLECTION!!!!

DO YOU HEAR ME??!!!

HE WENT ON A FUNERAL AND THEN CAME BACK TO DIG UP THE BONES!!!!!!!

Thankfully the aboriginal people there had heard he had dug up bones previously and they moved the grave.

AND WHEN HE DISCOVERED THIS HE GOT MAD AND SAID THE ABORIGINAL PEOPLE COULDN'T BE TRUSTED

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

What screams, cries, laughs, and looks like a muppet? That’s right, it’s the Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides). Its vocalizations range from deep grunts to loud hisses and have been likened to a crying baby! Found in Australia, this nocturnal bird is a sit-and-wait predator—meaning that it waits for dinner to deliver itself. As a result, it can spend hours at a time remaining perfectly still. When motionless, its mottled plumage resembles the bark of a tree. But as prey approaches, this bird strikes, descending on nearly silent wings.
