Interesting! So, Sea Anemones are the link between plants and animals. Remember that the next time you are having a salad. You are eating a long, lost relative! 😂🤣

Fascinating the wonders and beauty of our world. It's a shame we're such piss poor stewards of the place. If I were our landlord, I'd evict us. :)

Mike, it's a wonder anyone lives in Oz because there are so many creatures there that are so deadly. Man being Number 1!
