Observe now, this curious specimen. Frillous Humorous, or The Laughing Frilly-fern, extends its many leaves outward, revealing a small, bulbous opening that emerges in the center from the stalk. As with normal frilly-ferns, brushing the leaves causes them to retract in response to the stimulus. But unlike those other frilly-ferns, this one emits a cacophonous cackle from the bulbous opening that persists throughout the response.
Naturally, they have been banned from anywhere within five miles of urban or suburban areas. They are preserved only in their forest habitats, and only for the purpose of studying their genetics in order to prevent this irritating adaptation from perpetuating through other species.
