Most things are born, get old, and die, but one type of jellyfish has a cheat code.
If it gets sick or stressed, it can hit a reset button. It turns its old cells back into baby cells and starts its entire life over from scratch.
Also, trees are talking to each other.
They use a massive web of fungi to share food and send out warnings if bugs are attacking. If one tree is dying, it’ll sometimes send its last bit of sugar through the roots to help out other trees.
The one that really sticks with me, though, is the struggle giraffes have during a storm.
Because they are so tall, they don’t have anywhere to hide when the weather turns bad. They just have to stand there in the middle of the open plains. They have the option to lie down, but that way, they are vulnerable to predators because it takes them a long time to get back up on their feet.
