20 Exotic Birds That Seem to Have Come From Another Planet
This bird, with red eyes and a red chest, looks like it is wearing a very bright blue mask that covers its face. It was discovered by entomologist Charles Coquerel, while he was collecting insects on the island of Madagascar — which is why it bears his name. Other species like the Coquerel’s sifaka and the Coquerel’s giant mouse lemur were also discovered by this man. All of them are endemic to the Island of Madagascar.
