In the challenge streamed live on the Kick platform, this YouTuber aimed to find 100 species of insects in one night.
After recording the 79th species, he suddenly spotted glowing eyes in the bushes nearby. Drawing on his experience, Adi quickly realized that the eyes belonged to a tiger, based on the color of its fur and distinctive patterns.
