Paris zoo has The Blob
It is bright yellow, can creep along at a speed of up to 4 centimeters (1.6 inches) per hour, can solve problems even though it doesn?t have a brain and can heal itself if it is cut in two.
Meet the ?blob,? an unusual organism which will go on display Saturday at the Paris Zoological Park, as part of a first-of-its-kind exhibition intended to showcase its rare abilities.
The slime mold, which is known officially as physarum polycephalum (or ?the many headed slime?) is neither a plant, an animal or a fungus. It doesn?t have two sexes ? male and female ? it has 720. And it can also split into different organisms and then fuse back together, according to a press release from the Zoological Park.
The unicellular being is believed to be around a billion years old, but it first came to the public?s attention in May 1973, after a Texas woman discovered a rapidly-expanding yellow blob growing in her backyard. With its otherworldly, extraterrestrial appearance, the blob became a brief media sensation, even picking up a mention in the New York Times.
its favorite food is oatmeal.

720 sexes, must have been libtards on earth a long time in the past. After they all got abortions this is what was left. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nx3Uu1hfl6Q0 -

Almost looks good enough to eat!
Properly prepared by only the best GB chefs that is! 8-)
I remember back in the day when the movie starring Steve McQueen was out, it was really scary to this very young kid! We used to play "The Blob" out in the backyard swamp. Play doe was used but a few years later they came out with this stuff....."super stuff" or Super Goop?? IMMIC, then when my kids were little "green slime" came along. Basically the same thing only green instead of orange.
Better than silly putty and you got a lot more of it!0 -
that movie scared me too as a little kid. (20 years after it came out) the 1988 version wasn't bad either. 0 -
Can't believe no one has posted the theme song. Beware of the blob it creeps and leaps and glides and slides across the floor.... Bob 0 -
I don't remember a theme song. gives me an excuse to watch the movie again. 0 -
