A Nature Journey Through Japan

Very recommendable! Hokkaido island was once attached to Russia before a sea level rise. Global Warming is a hoax and Climate Change a religion!

Watch: Lion attacked by 50 skittish baboons in South Africa

Self defense and defense by peers are ingrained by evolution.

The Sea’s Weirdest Creatures, Now in ‘Staggering’ Detail

Amazing stuff!

"Living in an essentially zero-gravity environment, many deep-sea animals have evolved soft, gelatinous bodies and collect food using elaborate mucous filters. Until now, studying these delicate structures has been virtually impossible. A new study published in the journal Nature describes a unique laser-based system for constructing 3D models of diaphanous marine animals and the mucous structures they secrete. ... To gather these data, ... a team of engineers, scientists, and submersible pilots to develop an instrument called DeepPIV (PIV stands for particle imaging velocimetry). Mounted on a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), the DeepPIV instrument projects a sheet of laser light that illuminates particles in the water, like dust motes in a sunbeam. By recording the movement of these particles in video, researchers can quantify tiny currents around marine animals as well as water flowing through their filters and their transparent bodies. ..."

The Fascinating Language Of Plants

Trigger


Article “The Secret Language of Plants” published by the Simmons Foundation.


Smarter Animals


In recent years, we have learnt more and more about how many animals are much more intelligent and much more able to communicate even complicated things than a majority of humans ever expected.


Plant Communication


Have we not heard stories before where some people were saying that plants at home would talk to them or plants could get lonely or plants would respond to human suffering/happiness etc.


It appears in recent years more evidence has been discovered that there is something like chemical or even electrical communication going on between plants of the same kind or other kinds (inter and intra plant communication) or between plants and insects.


A Plant Brain?


Since we still do not understand animal or human brains very well how can we rule out that plants have no brain?


Does a plant brain have to function similar to an animal brain?
