Slime Molds Solve The Maze

Last Monday I wrote about the weird world of slime molds.

They’re not plants.  They’re not animals.  They’re not even fungi.  They’re single-celled organisms as much as 10 feet long … and they move!

It gets weirder.

Though they have no brain, slime molds remember where they’ve been and don’t go back there.   This video shows that they can solve a maze!

If you missed last week’s slime mold blog, read amazing facts about them at: Plant Or Animal?
