I'm going to go with caterpillar.

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.

It reminded me of the way a bat moves when it's on the floor... Also, its small frontal claws seem bat-like

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.

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"

Caused by mutation - That would be EIA but I wont call it untill we have a better idea!

syncron, you might be right about that. Still, I applaud Google's efforts to cause international incidents with their crazy alarmist translations.

For the record, EVERYTHING is caused by mutation ala genetic recombination.

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? (;

tis a type of hag moth caterpillar....it can have a pretty fierce stinging rash ability if touched.... DONT TOUCH IT

^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:
http://www.galerie-insecte.org/galerie/ref-5615.htm
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.
