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)
