radxsays...Roadkill.
mauz15says...I'm going to go with caterpillar.
grintersays...Yeah, it looks to be a bat mimicking caterpillar.
Notice that it's walking on a palm leaf. Several species of bat partially chew through the base of palm fronds so that the fronds double over and form a tent that the bat can roost in during the day.
Couldn't find confirmation on google, but did find another person who also thinks this video is showing a bat mimic.
Laekrothsays...It reminded me of the way a bat moves when it's on the floor... Also, its small frontal claws seem bat-like
Crakesays...Needs more crowbar.
griefer_queafersays...Holy shit. Francis Bacon painting came to life.
Simple_Mansays...I'm going to go with Azathoth.
Paybacksays...Tastes like chicken!
jwraysays...Headcrab, dude
Engelssays...totally
ponceleonsays...Crake wins with crowbar comment.

Shepppardsays...It's a choggie, obviously.

EDDsays...^Geek fail, you guys - it's spelled 'Lamarr'.
Drachen_Jagersays...That's Quantum Mushroom's brain after too much Fox News.
griefer_queafersays...this really is chilling, though...
rebuildersays...I thought it looked like a turtle without a shell.
rottenseedsays...I'll name him Furfy McFurlington
dan00108says...Obvious! It's a tiny little headcrab baby.
potchi79says...IT IS HEDCRAB FIRE WEPON!
xxovercastxxsays...psh... you noobs don't know an under-developed lurker when you see one?
somebody needs to spawn more overlords.
entr0pysays...I translated the Chinese title of the video hoping for some clue what the hell it is. . . all I learned is that the Chinese are incredibly paranoid.
外國發現不明恐怖生物體,疑為變異所致
"Unidentified foreign terrorist organisms found, believed to be caused by variation."
syncronsays...Not "Unidentified foreign terrorist organisms found, believed to be caused by variation."
It's "Unknown scary looking organism found abroad, possibly caused by a mutation"
Sagemindsays...Caused by mutation - That would be EIA but I wont call it untill we have a better idea!
entr0pysays...syncron, you might be right about that. Still, I applaud Google's efforts to cause international incidents with their crazy alarmist translations.

mxxconsays...def looks like a caterpillar pretending to be a bat.
JiggaJonsonsays...For the record, EVERYTHING is caused by mutation ala genetic recombination.
iauisays...I wonder what a turtle without a shell looks like... I think this animal kind of looks like that. Perhaps it has turtle ancestors who evolved to live without a shell? Perhaps due to the progressing acidification of the oceans and the ensuing difficulty of manufacturing shells?
I'm surprised nobody has answered this correctly in the like three days this video has been around.
What IS this thing? (;
Gabe_bsays...To me, it looks like a talented engineering undergrads robotics project.
averageusersays...tis a type of hag moth caterpillar....it can have a pretty fierce stinging rash ability if touched.... DONT TOUCH IT
grintersays...^well done averageuser! It does look like hag moth/monkey slug caterpillar (genus Phobetron). And several species are listed for Brazil (I'm assuming that's Portuguese in the video)... although I couldn't find a picture of this species. Here is another Brazilian species:

It is commonly guessed that they find some refuge from predators by resembling the discarded exoskeletons of spiders. I still say the one in the video looks like a bat.
arvanasays...Way to go guys! Internet hivemind FTW!
averageusersays...no problem...if there is one thing i know its bugs and such....my main hobby is photographing them !
antsays...Oh wow. You're right. Thanks.
^Geek fail, you guys - it's spelled 'Lamarr'.
