What the actual fuck.
Several scientists told Vox that there are significant issues with the study design.
xD
Yeah, I didn't know this technology existed.
If you like that, then how about this Naked Man orchid?
(Also "orchid" comes from the Greek word for testicles)
Well that one is obvious, as one of the great philosophers of our time once said;
They're putting chemicals in the water that turn the frigging ~~frogs~~ orchids gay!
I used this in a presentation once because it's hilarious.
Crazy how nature do that
According to the Pokedex, it's a Grass/flying type.
Given that mimikyu is ghost/fairy and mawhile is fairy, my guess is that a duck mimic pokemon based off this would probably be Grass/fairy
Are you sure that it's not the duck who copying the orchid? Bird aren't real
That's the beauty of evolution, it doesn't need to. In fact the critters determining the shape of the orchids are probably whatever is pollenating it. I assume those are "duck chest bursting bees" or something similar.
Male ducks are horny little fuckers, it wouldnt totally shock me if ducks pollinated it.
Well obviously this flower is pollinated by ducks.
They know the same way heikegani crabs know what a samurai looks like.
