Slime molds have been recently reclassified from the kingdom fungi to the kingdom protista, which typically are composed of single-celled organisms. However, despite being a multicellular organism, they still bear resemblance to animals.
Slime mold can learn and teach other slime mold to stay away from noxious places, even when the other slime mold has never been exposed to it. The mold moves away from harmful areas in a fan-like manner when searching for food.
Cellular slime molds operate as a group with a decentralized decision-making process, similar to the flock of birds, without the presence of leaders or pacemakers.
Possums have opposable thumbs on their front and back feet, which they use to gather nesting materials and carry them in their tail to their burrow. They can also use their tails to hang from branches, although this is more commonly observed in younger possums.
The hosts discuss the arrival of spring and their attempts to feed birds while thwarting squirrels.
