Shrimp Kidnaps Chemist!

About this episode

In Antarctica's frigid waters, a small shrimp-like plankton uses a clever survival strategy. It kidnaps a tiny snail-like pteropod to protect itself. The pteropod produces a chemical that deters fish from eating the plankton, but after some time, the plankton releases the pteropod to continue its search for another one. This extraordinary behavior is not a product of chance, but rather, the design of an all-wise Creator.
