2. Body Regeneration in Salamanders
When a salamander loses a body part to a predator, stem cells form over the wound, and the regeneration process starts within 24 hours. If it was the leg, muscles, and bones begin to develop, followed by nerves and toes. A new leg grows back in less than three months, and the salamander continues to live its usual life. Scientists have observed that this superpower is caused by a salamander’s cells’ ability to return to stem cell status.
3. Quills on a Porcupine
Porcupines have quills from the eyebrows to the tail tip to protect themselves from prey. When intimidated, these quills, about 30,000 in a single porcupine, stand up straight and firm. The tips are super sharp and can be used to puncture into prey. The most interesting thing about this superpower is that the quills on a porcupine are designed to penetrate the skin easily but are super difficult to pull out.
4. The Armor on Pangolins
Even though they are mostly mistaken for reptiles because of their shape, pangolins are mammals, and their superpower lies in their skin. Pangolins are covered by a scaly armor that even lions can’t bite through. These scales are made from keratin, the same compound used to make fingernails in human beings. As if that’s not exciting enough, pangolins roll up into a ball when threatened, making them uneatable. Apart from the scaly armor, pangolins can also strike predators with their tails.
5. Elephant’s Ability to Predict Earthquakes
In the Savanna, Elephants have the ability to hear low-frequency sounds, which they use for communication. It’s thanks to this superpower that Elephants were able to survive the earthquake that occurred in the Indian Ocean in 2004. They used the superpower to predict the noise of the waves in the ground.
