Interesting fact for a class. Cambarus robustus (Big Water Crayfish) stores calcium deposits in their stomach to retain until the next molting period when it is needed to make the new exoskeleton. They also urinate 5% of their own body weight each day. #BiodiversityEd

To prevent cannibalism, the amoeba secretes a chemical which keeps the other amoebas away. This chemical secretion can protect the amoeba from predators as well. #BiodiversityEd

The plant Nepenthes alata collects rainwater in it's pitchers (modified leaves that trap insects).The plant then adds sugar to the water to attract insects, as well as a digestive enzyme in which insects drown and are consumed to provide nutrients to the plant. #BiodiversityEd
