Thanks to you & @Brokkr@lemmy.world for your replies. Not sure why but this curiosity was lingering in mind so I thought I’d put the question out there in case there might be some really unique example of such an organism.
I guess it’d have to be a very unique environment to drive such an adaptation, which would be fascinating in itself.
Biology is full of strange exceptions. As soon as you think you’ve figured out a rule that applies to something, you’ll find some obscure creature that violates that rule just to piss you off.
