-
When there is a deviation from the norm in nature, should it be characterized as an "anomaly" or "one-of- a kind"? 

Here are some interesting "anomalies"/ "one-of a kinds"

  1. Carnivorous plants. Plants generally get their nutrients from the soil but carnivorous plant get most of their nutrients from consuming or trapping insects or other animals.
  2. Flowers with no fragrance. Flowers in general are known to be fragrant, but it turns out not all of them are.
  3. Octopus blood. An Octopus bleeds blue blood.
  4. The Australian Eucalyptus tree, a tree that resists fire.
  5. Natural eternal flames. Flames usually burn out, but not these ones.
  6. The Hukou waterfall. The only yellow waterfall in the world.
  7.  Balancing rocks,rocks that seem to defy gravity
  8. The Arctic circle, a place where the sun never sets.
 What do you think? Are these "anomalies" or  "one-of-a kinds"?

SO NOW YOU KNOW!!!!!!
