Below is a mention of strange things in the worlds of plants, animals, and humans:
The world of plants is as follows

Mention of exotic plants in nature:

Bleeding heart flower :

It is called this because the shape of the flower resembles a heart, with a white liquid coming down from the plant like drops, and it is noteworthy that the original homeland of this type of plant goes back to Siberia, northern China, Korea, and Japan, which are plants that bloom in the spring. Celosia: This plant contains dense, brain-like flowers, nicknamed wool flowers, and it is reported that it has ancient medicinal uses, as it was used to treat headaches, menstrual pain, and more

Carrion plant :

It is called this because of its very unpleasant smell, as this plant emits a smell similar to rotting flesh to attract flies to complete the pollination process, and it is noteworthy that the original homeland of this type of plant is the desert areas in Tanzania and South Africa.

Cilozia :

This plant contains dense, brain-like flowers, nicknamed wool flowers, and it is reported that it has ancient medicinal uses, as it was used to treat headaches, menstrual pain, and more.

Animal World The following is a mention of strange animals in nature :

Carnivorous monkeys:

They are called Panamanian capuchin monkeys with a white face and sunken brown eyes. They are monkeys that may eat each other, as two monkeys in Santa Rosa National Park in Costa Rica ate a small monkey after it fell from the tree. It is worth noting that capuchin monkeys may attack and eat whole animals in groups.

Penguin droppings:

Penguins can release their droppings over large distances, up to twice their body length, as scientists have found that some penguins can release their droppings at a speed of 8 km/hour for a distance of up to 134 cm.

Platypus glow:

Scientists have found that some brown creatures can glow a greenish-blue color under ultraviolet rays, including platypuses, flying squirrels, and others. It is noteworthy that the platypus uses this glow to reduce the risk of predation by predators, and it is noteworthy that this theory is still under study.

Goat fainted :

Fainting goats is limited to only a specific breed called the Tennessee goat, named after the American state of Tennessee, which is the homeland of this type of goat. Fainting occurs in these goats due to stress, fear, or sudden movement. Fainting in Tennessee goats is a genetic condition that causes a defect that affects the skeletal muscles used in movement. When these muscles contract voluntarily to escape some danger, their relaxation can be delayed, making them rigid, and this completely paralyzes the goat’s movement, and this condition lasts for approximately 5-20 seconds only.



The world of man: Below is a mention of facts strange to man:

1_the human mouth secretes a liter of saliva daily.
