Throughout history, humans have been confined to landmasses when establishing permanent settlements. But what if that’s all about to change?

As a result, the rapid production […]

They are nasty plants. The characteristics of Ibicella lutea, Proboscidea louisianica, and Proboscidea parviflora are understated by the common name Devil’s Claw.
