Huh?? Beauty? The dude is ugly. And the bird-calling chicks never took anything off, jeez. What is happening to the internet these days??

Aliens might see it this way: two carbon-based life forms, each infected with smaller parasitic life forms, create small but annoying variations in the pressure of the atmosphere medium for a very very long time by vibrating muscles below the upper cluster of orifices and sensory organs. A third parasite host does the same thing to the medium by manipulating a primitive device with its limbs that resemble extended flippers without the webbing. All three are wrapped or contained in semi-organic material for various reasons, some of which are likely not to be known.
