The Aichi Ninja

This is a true story.

My friend is from Tokoname, a small city south of Nagoya in Aichi Prefecture renowned for its ancient ceramics industries. My friends’ father sat the family down around him about 2 years ago, and told them he had two important things to tell them. They were expecting something dreadful, like he’d been diagnosed with cancer, and that he only had a few months to live, or something like that.

Instead he told them, “We have to move. The government is going to build a new road through here, and our home is to be demolished to make way for it.” That was enough of a shock for them, but what he told them next completely knocked their socks off.

Trees, like animals, can also experience albinism, though it is extremely rare.

the reason it’s rare is because without chlorophyll, the plant can’t get energy, and dies shortly after sprouting unless it has some other source of food. so if you see a plant as big as the one in the picture that doesn’t have any green in its leaves, it’s getting its nutrition from the roots of a neighboring plant of the same species, feeding on the sugars created by the other plant’s photosynthesis.

albino plants are basically vampires.
