Beings created with interesting characteristics

Among beings, which has the ability to imitate a friend?
How does a tree species that purifies water make this happen?
What are the systems in the foot structures of different species?
A Close Friend of a Master of Imitation Swimming in the Seas of
Indonesia: The Jawfish
Many living things can conceal themselves by taking the color of
its surroundings by means of its camouflage abilities. However, to
impersonate a different species by changing color and shape and to
perfectly imitate them is a new type of behavior, discovered by
scientists only recently. As it is known, the octopus has tens of
thousands of sacs called "chromatophores" on its body. The ctopus can
shrink and loosen these sacs to look like any background color or
image. However, the mimic octopus also changes its appearance to
imitate other animals. It can color itself with the colors of a
lionfish, then it bravely swims away after enlarging its eight arms
around its body to resemble the poisonous thorns of the lion fish.
Or it can place its head and seven arms like triangle shape of a
tortonese's stingray and moves along the sea surface by dragging its
eighth arm like its tail. Or it jumps into a sand hill to look like
a poisonous sea anemone and holds its arms in a zigzag mode. Not
having a hard interior and outer skeleton gives this being a body
structure ideal for imitation. This behavior displayed by the
octopus is of course very interesting and a result of our Lord's
control over living beings. However, what is more interesting is the
existence of a fish, which takes advantage of an octopus that runs
away from its hunters by imitating the fish. This fish, called the
jawfish, swims around the octopus and tries to take advantage of its
strategy of protection.
It is of course very interesting that an octopus with no wisdom and
consciousness imitates a fish to defend itself, but what is more
interesting is the existence of a fish, which knows and takes
advantage of this characteristic of the octopus. Our Lord reminds
us once more the perfect creation of His Self with these examples,
which require wisdom. In one verse it is revealed as such:
" Allah is the Creator of everything and He is Guardian over
everything. ." (Surat az-Zumar, 62)
A Carnivorous Plant Species: Philcoxia Minensis
A new carnivorous plant species was discovered in Brasil . This
plant, called "Philcoxia Minensis", uses its sticky leaves
underground by secreting a gum-like substance and traps worms.
Researchers note that these plants that generally live under
difficult conditions have a carnivorous type of nutrition and that
they are quite rare in nature. It is understood that some species
even hunt large-sized creatures like ruminant mammals due to a
general lack of food. The purpose behind the plant being carnivorous
is to supply itself for the need of protein. However, while the
plant supplies for this need, it also breaks down dead beings and
increases the soil's fertility. No doubt, there is a matchless plan
in the hunting process of this plant and after. Here Allah shows
these flawless evidences of creation to people. Allah reveals His
control over and matchless creation of living things in one verse
as such:
"That is Allah, your Lord. There is no god but Him, the Creator of
everything. So worship Him. He is responsible for everything. "
(Surat Al-An'am, 102)
Strong Mechanisms in Rhino Feet
The rhinocerous is the largest living mammal after elephants.
Rhinos can run 45 kilometers per hour and change their directions
suddenly with an agility most unexpected from its large body. One of
the most interesting characteristics of these beings, which are
typically three to five tons in weight and almost two meters long
is that their short and rather small feet can carry all this weight
of many tons. Now scientists are planning to solve the foot
structure of rhinos and build land vehicles that can lift and carry
very heavy objects while moving. Rhinos use this mechanism, which
scientists cannot understand yet, since the first day they were
created. This truth, where Allah's infinite might of creation is
displayed, is revealed in one verse as such:
"The keys of the Unseen are in His possession. No one knows them but
Him. He knows everything in the land and sea. No leaf falls
without His knowing it. There is no seed in the darkness of the
earth, and nothing moist or dry which is not in a Clear Book."
(Surat Al-An'am,59)
Mechanism That Prevents Husky Dogs From Freezing
Husky dogs that live in Alaska are a canine species that can run
very fast and thanks to this quality they are frequently used in
pulling a sled. One of the most interesting characteristics of these
beings, which can live at minus 60 degrees temperature due to their
thick fur, is that their feet are not affected and not frozen when
walking in this cold. When scientists examine the foot structure of
these dogs, they discovered that there is a unique temperature
change system in their veins. Also this system not only transfers
the heat to their feet, but also makes sure that the blood that
will return to the heart is at the appropriate temperature.
There is no doubt that this structure is only one of the works of
Allah's infinite wisdom and matchless creation. In one verse it is
revealed as such:
" Say: 'To whom does everything in the heavens and earth belong?'
Say: 'To Allah.' He has made mercy incumbent on Himself. He will
gather you to the Day of Rising about which there is no doubt. As
for those who have lost their own selves, they have no iman. "
(Surat Al-An'am, 12)
The Fish That Walks on Four Fins
The red-lipped batfish is the only fish that walks on its four fins.
This fish has a very strange appearance with its fins created to
walk, its nose with a peculiar shape and big red lips.
The batfish can walk on the sand like a man using their chest fins.
Using these fins, the batfish can easily stand on the ocean floor
and walk on the tips of their fins. As with the angler fish, the
batfish also has small skin parts, which they use as a fishhook,
underneath their nose to trick other fish.
As in every living being, Allah is the One Who creates these beings
with interesting features compatible with their needs.
"That is Allah, your Lord. There is no god but Him, the Creator of
everything. So worship Him. He is responsible for everything. "
(Surat Al-An'am, 102)
Sticky Hairs of the Gecko Fish
The gecko fish, which is a small fish species found on the North
Pacific coasts, are specialized in holding onto the rocks while
searching for food, by sticking. This is because our Lord created a
sticking technique on the fins of these fish like the gecko fish.
There are tiny hairs on these fins. Thanks to this, they can hold
onto hard surfaces at an atomic degree. Thanks to this sticky
surface, the fish can also carry 180 times its own weight. No doubt,
the fins, which Almighty Allah granted to this fish as a blessing,
are a perfect system for this creature to feed. These
characteristics, which are examples of Allah's infinite knowledge
and matchless art, are revealed in the Qur'an as such:
" In the heavens and earth there are certainly Signs for the
faithful. And in your creation and all the creatures He has spread
about there are Signs for people with certainty. " (Surat
al-Jathiyya, 3-4)
