Paris zoo adds slime mold ‘blob’ to its list of attractions
If you find yourself at the Paris Zoological Park this weekend you might come across a creature you wouldn't normally expect to see on display. It's not a plant or an animal, and it doesn't have a brain, but it does demonstrate shocking levels of intelligence. It's a slime mold nicknamed "the Blob," and it's incredibly cool.
Slime molds are one of nature's most enduring mysteries. Operating like a tiny community of individual organisms working toward a single goal, slime molds spread across a surface in search of food which it digests and uses as fuel. There are nearly a thousand different known species, and they come in many shapes and sizes.
