Tfw you realize that much of Earth’s life moves and communicates on a time scale humans cannot hope to comprehend.

Plants exhibit a lot of behavior we typically associate only with animals, but don’t notice because of the difference in timescales and just how utterly alien plants are compared to ourselves. They communicate, the cooperate, they engage in parental care, and discoveries in the relatively new study of plant cognition seem to indicate that they have some capacity for decision making and learning. Just as we learned that animals are not, in fact, mindless, unfeeling automata we are now learning the same is true of plants.

I wish we could see them waving around and moving though in real time :(

Yes!!! This is exactly the stuff i’ve been learning about! They are Creatures and friends!
