Don't you just love some useless trivia? I know I sure do, so this is a topic mainly dedicated to random trivia pertaining to flora and fauna of Earth.
Feel free to post some random tidbits of info, but please make sure to back up your claims with a link.

Eg.
The Mimosa Pudica plant actually folds in on itself at the slightest touch or movement.

There's even a gif there so you can see the plant in action

Dancing Plant (Desmodium Gyrans)
Quote:
Have you ever watched a plant move all by itself? The “dancing plant”, also known as the telegraph plant, actually moves its leaves in jerky motions when exposed to direct sunlight, warmth or vibration – hence their reaction to music. Its leaflets, each of which is equipped with a hinge at the base that allows it to move, rotate along an elliptical path. This plant is famous for being a favorite of Charles Darwin, and is featured in depth in his book The Power of Movement in Plants.
