And other stories from the stranger side of life
Plants cry out when they need watering but humans can’t hear their cries, said scientists. Recordings of tomato, tobacco, wheat, corn and cactus show that they make “occasional ultrasonic popping noises” that are “similar to bubble wrap”, said The Telegraph. Therefore, concluded Professor Lilach Hadany from the School of Plant Sciences and Food Security at the Wise Faculty of Life Sciences at Tel Aviv University, “an idyllic field of flowers can be a rather noisy place, it’s just that we can’t hear the sounds”.
