Further evidence that Earth's ecosystems constitute an interlocking interdependent fractal matrix of subsystems far more complex than we understand. Here is an example you have probably never heard of. I certainly had not. Until we realize and accept our ignorance our arrogance will keep us from learning.

We have no idea what the consciousness of dinosaurs was, any more than we can truly inhabit a whale's reality — or a flowers.
