I am impressed. I can see how this guy gets so big and that's a very impressive way to nourish that it evolved.
It's an amazing example of adaptation for two animals. Bacteria have an important role in most animals' lives, even humans.
Each human has approximately 1 trillion cells that make up his body. However each of our bodies contains 6 trillion bacteria (they're much smaller than normal cells) that weigh a collective 10 pounds. We couldn't live without them.

Wasn't aware of that. I have had a horrible experience with bacteria after a surgery. Spent 18 days in hospital and almost died. I guess they do a lot of good too.
