This clever creature is one of the most impressive and funny in nature, with unbelievable sounds to match the beautiful pictures. From the BBC.

Sapho's recitative and aria from the eponymous opera by Charles Gounod. The poetess, abandoned by her lover Phaon, sings her last hopeless aria and leaps from the cliff into the sea.
