𝙁𝙖𝙘𝙩 𝟭𝟬𝟲 Trap intelligence: How the flytrap saves energy

The Venus flytrap is not only predatory, but also extremely rational. It "counts" the touches of its bristles: two touches within 20 seconds activate the trap to ensure that there is indeed prey inside. This method helps the plant save energy by avoiding triggering on random objects such as raindrops.

The natural world is full of amazing solutions for optimising resources. Let's learn from it and use our own sustainably!

𝙁𝙖𝙘𝙩 𝟭𝟬𝟳 Hero seahorse fathers

There's been a gender revolution in the world of seahorses: males are here to bear offspring! Their unique abdominal pouch turns them into living incubators:

🔹 2-4 weeks of "pregnancy"
🔹 Regulating the environment and nutrition for the eggs
🔹 Real "birth" with muscle contractions

They are the only creatures with a full male pregnancy, including placental exchange. In doing so, they form monogamous pairs for life!
