When odours from a tomato plant are wafted towards the vine, these chemical cues prompt the plant to send a tendril snaking towards the source. This vampiric tendril will wrap around its victim before extracting the goodness from within.

These worms have  no eyes, stomach or guts. However they do have reproductive organs. They live in the very deep oceans surrounded by toxic gas and water.

Kangaroo rats have adapted to survive in the desert without ever taking a sip of water. Instead, they get all the moisture they need from the seeds that they eat. These critters also have incredible hearing and can jump up to nine feet, which helps them avoid predators.

Their blood tastes very bad and they can also shoot it at their predators. The blood comes out of their eye and shoots ahead. This keeps them safe from predators because since they taste so bad, no animal will want to eat them.
