Hey, it's me, D. Welcome back to Smarter Every Day! So, I think I can make the argument that anytime you add animals to the equation, it gets more interesting. Case and point, would you agree with that? Spoty, get you cinched up here! So, there, all I did was add an animal, and this video instantly got 10 times better.

Today on Smarter Every Day, we're going to add animals to the equation. What we're going to do is we're going to study the most interesting animals on the planet. We're going to the Amazon rainforest. You see, about 8 months ago, somebody left this comment on this video. Of course, I said yes. Turns out it's an outfit called Rainforest Expeditions, and they were asking me if I just wanted to come down to the Amazon rainforest and observe things.

Got to get you back out of here. So, the people that make this high-speed camera heard that I was going and asked me if I wanted to test out their new model. Now, mark my word, this is a revolution in high-speed videography. This is called a Miro. What this does is, with this button and this battery, now you can shoot high-pe from your hand in the middle of the rainforest.

This guy behind me, Jeff, he asked me to come down; he's the photographer. So, this is Jeff Kramer. How you doing? Expert in high-resolution photography. This is Phil Torres—went to Cornell University; he's an entomologist. This is Gordon McGladdery, Vancouver Film School. He is an audio engineer.

What do I call you? I'm your musician, man! Okay, Jon's pretty interesting because his family actually used to own a lot of the land that Rainforest Expedition uses now for their e-lodges. Anyway, I'm Destin, you're getting smarter every day! Enjoy this short teaser video. I'm not going to show you a whole lot because there's a lot in the videos you're going to like. Have a good one!

W!

She actually fell asleep!

So, if you've never subscribed to Smarter Every Day or your friends haven't, now is the time to tell them about it because I'm about to put stuff on the internet that's never been on the internet!

Okay, I'm going to level with you right now: I made this thing to be funny, but it turns out if I support the cat's weight with my hand, she doesn't have to balance, so she's totally relaxed and she can sleep anywhere.

Look at this! She can sleep on top of my head; she has claws! She could be ripping my head off right now. Let's see, I wake you up. Does this wake you?

Yeah, this wakes you up! You come back on my head, will you go back to sleep? Are you asleep? Seriously? Yes, you are!

Okay, I will see you next week on The Amazing Amazon series unless I am selling cat slings on the internet and becoming a millionaire. Have a good one; it's amazing!
