Man incorrectly identifies animals, gets correctedfrom @okwildlifedept

[01]

Overview

A creator plays two roles in a comedic skit. In the first role, a man confidently but incorrectly identifies several animal exhibits (a bobcat, a sunfish, a black bear, and a gar skull). In the second role, another man repeatedly walks past and corrects the first man's misidentifications in a deadpan manner, with the video cycling through four different exhibits using this same comedic pattern.
