Sea roach, is actually more closely related to crabs than cockroaches. Similar to crabs , it has a hard shell that provides protection for its soft body. Its body possesses 7 pairs of segmented legs . With that many pairs of legs, sea roach can move very fast! #fast #sea #seven

Eurasian Eagle-owls have a pair of asymmetrical ears, unlike humans, their ears are concealed by the hair-like feathers of their facial discs. They are able to determine the location of prey through directional hearing achieved by asymmetrical audio signals. #owl #bird

It is hypothesized that when the click beetles feel threatened, they will drop to the ground. The jumping ability helps them to get back into position. If the body is being held, the clicking may make it harder for them to be grasped and can create an impact to aid their escape.

𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘺𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘺𝘢 𝘮𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘢 is helpful in forensic investigations. It helps detectives determine the time of death since it is one of the first species of blow flies to arrive at a corpse. They play an important role in the decomposition process of dead organisms.

The formation of a pearl begins when intruders such as parasitic animals drill through the cover of the pearl oyster and attack the mantle tissue. The pearl sac encapsulates and dissolves the parasite. Finally, a pearl is created by stacking layers of nacre.
