PARIS (Reuters) - A Paris zoo showcased a mysterious new organism on Wednesday, dubbed the blob, a yellowish unicellular small living being which looks like a fungus but acts like an animal.
This newest exhibit of the Paris Zoological Park, which goes on display to the public on Saturday, has no mouth, no stomach, no eyes, yet it can detect food and digest it.
The blob also has almost 720 sexes, can move without legs or wings and heals itself in two minutes if cut in half.
The blob is a living being which belongs to one of natures mysteries, said Bruno David, director of the Paris Museum of Natural History, of which the Zoological Park is part.

Slime molds are really cool things. If you ever see one they grow incredibly fast.

I thought they were asexual like fungus, and breed by spores. Have no idea where they are getting sexes, might be political.
