Question: What bird lays its eggs in another bird's nest?

Answer: Cuckoo, Cowbird, Whyda, Honeyguide and Black-headed Duck

Useless Fact: These birds, called brood parasites lay their eggs in another Bird's Nest and let the other bird parents feed and raise their chicks. The "egg abandon" is free to mate again and lay more eggs in another nest. Cuckoo is the best known brood parasite and an expert in the art of cruel deception. Its strategy involves stealth, surprise and speed. The mother removes one egg by the host mother, submitting its own and flies with the host egg in her bill. The whole process takes barely ten seconds. Cuckoos parasitize nests of many bird species and closely mimic the color and pattern of their own eggs to match that of their hosts. Each female cuckoo specializes on one particular host species. How cuckoo manages to lay eggs to imitate each host's eggs so accurately is one of nature's greatest mysteries.

Question: What is the largest invertebrate?

Answer: Colossal Squid

Useless Fact: A species of squid reported to be significantly larger than the giant squid, is called the Colossal squid, officially named Mesonychoteuthis Hamilton. In February 2007 a live colossal squid was brought to the surface in Antarctic waters by a New Zealand fishing boat. This enormous squid, which was determined to be a male of the species, was 10 meters (32.8 feet) and weigh 450 kg (992 pounds), making it the largest squid (the largest invertebrate) ever captured. What is even more surprising is that what scientists know about squid species in general, there is great sexual dimorphism in squids, with females are significantly larger than males. If this is true for Colossal squid, could the male model who was captured very well be dwarfed by a much larger female of the species.
