For example, theres this sea slug that I found out eats algae, which is normally exactly what you think is usual for an underwater marine animal, but guess what? IT USES THE CHLOROPLASTS FROM THE ALGAE AND THEN GAINS THE ABILITY TO USE PHOTOSYNTHESIS AS A SLUG VIA ABSORBING PLANTS

    The largest organism is not the Blue Whale, but this thing called a mycelium somewhere in a mountain range in Oregon. It’s basically a web that connects mushrooms along with themselves and other organisms in the surrounding.

    Mycelium can trade nutrients with trees/ plants and can “punish” them if they don’t find the trade beneficial enough (IIRC about the study) :O
