Memory Recall
We’d like to start this off with something so crazy that many of us wouldn’t believe it. You’re probably already aware that flatworms can turn into two different beings if you slice them in half. But did you know flatworms can regain their memories from their past lives?
We’re not exactly sure how scientists figured this one out, but we’ll take their word for it. And if that wasn’t crazy enough, if a flatworm eats another flatworm, it’ll obtain its food’s memories. So, imagine how freaky it would be to munch on something and have the memory of being munched on.
