Dolphins are often captured for big profits to be sold to aquatic shows and killed because of "over-eating fish". If this sounds familiar its because these this is the very scene that happen in Taiji Japan! This practices must be stopped!! #39canimals

Trigger hairs in the leaves of Venus flytraps contain mechanosensitive ion channels that activate when insects touch and bend the hairs. How did carnivorous plants evolve this mechanism of prey recognition? https://t.co/2HPrc1Bu5I

Aquarium rewards dolphins w/a fish if they bring a piece of litter or dead gull (to help keep pool clean)

One dolphin starts (1) tearing pieces of litter into smaller pieces & trading each piece in for a reward & (2) stockpiling fish to lure & kill gulls
