Dude Looks Like a Lady
So I'm at the doctor's office yesterday, reading National Geographic, and I come across this article about coral reefs. Come to find out, there's this sea anemome which does something really bizarre...
See, the male of the anemone is garnet in color, and the female is a beautiful bright red. They apparently mate for life. When the female dies, the male actually becomes a female - just some crazy nature thing - and turns bright red instead of garnet! Then he goes off and mates with another male and the cycle starts again.
I find that very cool. Bizarre, but cool.
