Nature’s intelligence continues to surprise. Dolphins communicate through ultrasound, and when near pregnant women, they can pick up both mother’s and baby’s heartbeats. They often respond with curiosity and affection, making these moments powerful reminders of our connection to other species. Life recognizes life—even across oceans. Have you ever experienced an animal connecting with you during pregnancy or healing? 🐬🤰

This shows that interactions between human eggs and s***m depend on the specific identity of the women and men involved."
Once SHE makes her choice and the s***m begins to pe*****te the egg, the egg then releases a chemical response that causes all of the other s***m's heads to pop off. Yep, mass decapitation. ⠀
