The world’s first selfie taken by a plant has hit the internet.
A maiden-fern named “Pete” at the London Zoo not only takes his own selfies, but he powers the camera too!
It’s part of the zoo’s research into microbial fuel cells.
These cells allow Pete to create energy that powers a camera and takes his own photo.
Pete is using that power to blow up the internet with pictures of his leafy self.
Zoo officials say Pete is producing enough power to take a new selfie every 20 seconds.
It’s so frequent, the fern often catches zoo workers accidentally photo-bombing his photographs!
Researchers say the findings could enable major progress in conversation efforts.
