Bears DO like honey, but honey isn't the only reason they go after bee hives! The other reason is they enjoy eating

THE BEES

(specifically bee larvae, which are an excellent source of protein)

the south african shrub Roridula, flybush or vlieรซbos, is a paracarnivore. they are super sticky, but they cannot directly digest the bugs that get stuck on them themselves.

so the plants instead have a special species of assassin bug called Pameridea, the roridula bug, which lives only on these shrubs nowhere else and exclusively eats bugs stuck to them. they have special hairs that let them walk on the sticky bushes without getting stuck. the roridula bug's poop, which lands on the plant, has lots of free nutrients, especially nitrogen, that the plant is then able to absorb with little trouble.

The moa was a 12-foot-tall flightless bird that lived in New Zealand until it went extinct in the 1400s. What I find interesting about it is that it had no wings, not even vestigial stubs. While some other flightless birds like kiwis have very small and nonfunctional wings, the moa is the only known bird--and also the only dinosaur--with no forelimbs at all.
