Bizarre, but true. Â "A few years ago scientists discovered that the larvae of the Sand dollar are able to clone themselves. Â When they were exposed to the mucus of their natural enemies "“ fish "“ they demonstrated a unique defense mechanism. Â They cloned themselves, which meant more or less that they halved their size. Â It is thought that this new smaller size helps them to avoid detection by fish and so increase their survival chances."
