the Clone Wars would have been a lot more interesting if the clone troopers just split/budded, would explain all the different patterns and emerging behaviors
Get your stormtroopers the starfish cloning, trooper loses an arm, wait a week and two troopers
invasive plants do this all the time, they are hard to eradicate once they become establish.
He make a good snak
I hope he's at least tasty
Too many crawdads are not a problem as long as you got a pot of boiling water
They're actually quite a big problem. They dig in the sides of canals and dikes causing them to destabilise and collapse
Way too many crawdads are not a problem as long as you boil the entire sea
These are freshwater ones though
Through global warming we will boil the entire world.
Thus solving the problem once and for all
They have also caused the ecrevisse à pattes blanches (the native european one) to go near extinct.
Marbled crayfish are pretty cool. A new species that evolved in captivity
Oh, these things are wild! A new species that clones itself rapidly, can carry a crayfish-killing plague, and is relatively rapidly colonizing the planet (freshwater only).
This feels like a thing spiders do. They can produce several clutches of eggs after mating once. If, without a mate, they could just.. do that, "even a single wolf spider egg can contaminate an entire planet."
Its a good year for crayfish sci-fi horror
people often forget invasive species often bring diseases with them, that they are adapted to but in a new environment with others species that have no natural immunity, it would wipe native populations faster than the actual animal itself.
he go clack, clack, clack?
