i want help in small discussion

These are a bunch of quick and small little cultural studies stuff about animals. Weird stuff, but it can get you thinking, like animals winning awards for acting, animals who can smell death, sentient plants, etc. Please give me 50 words on each, and 250 words on (at least) one. I hope you enjoy!
