24. Cuckoo Bird
I'm not crazy, but it's really a bird. Known for laying its eggs in another bird's nest and abandoning it to go party while the tricked foster parents raise the voracious monster chick, which isn't very funny.

The largest and only vegetarian bat, it is also known as a flying fox and loves a variety of tiny, sweet bananas called "fruit bat bananas" in the Pacific Islands.
