I love the secret handshakes every organism in this video has for one another. They all react when interacting to other organisms – but quiet differently. In the past we have discussed on toxins presented on the surface; but I had not appreciated the diversity of “reactions” a single felled organism would have when seeing many different species. Needless to say, this is an incredible diverse dataset. Let’s see how many species can you identify; please list in comments below.
