i’ve been trying to find this for years. this show, specifically the guy with the curly hairs and spiral ears, have been haunting my brain nonstop.

“Radu’s spiral ears give him super-sensitive hearing. This is a great asset, but can also cause him much discomfort if things get a bit loud. His extraordinary sense of hearing gives him a superb sense of balance. Combined with his high molecular density, he is extremely difficult to shake up or knock down. Radu’s compact structure also makes him as strong as approximately ten Earthers, able to lift in excess of eight hundred pounds with ease. This molecular configuration is also responsible for Radu’s long hair…it is just too difficult to cut, so Andromedans don’t bother. As with all members of his race, Radu possesses low-level psionic powers. This gives him a finely-tuned sense of direction. He always knows where he is and never gets lost. In addition, he is able to “hear” the thoughts of native Andromedan animals (such as gerkels), and is also able to receive “messages” from other psionics, like Elmira.
Andromedans have a very different internal structure than humans. While, unlike many humanoid races, their body temperature is close to Earth-normal 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, Andromedans possess an internal atmosphere, complete with a personal barometric pressure. When ill, Radu has exhibited disruptions in this atmosphere by either venting snow (falling barometric pressure) or steam (rising pressure) from his ears. He’s also been known to produce thunder on occasion. Andromedans also bounce and vent steam from their ears when they need to match their internal atmosphere to that of their surroundings.”

Welwitschia mirabilis

One of the rarest and strangest plants in the world, Welwitschia mirabilis is often referred to as an “underground tree” and can live up to 2,000 years in the arid Namib desert. It’s comprised of two leaves, a stem base and a tap root. The leaves become frayed but never stop growing and never shed, giving the plant it’s Medusa-like appearance. It uses them to collect moisture from sea fog. The long tap root can extend 6ft underground to collect water.

The only member of the Welwitschia genus, it’s thought to be a relic from the Jurassic Period, when the Earth was covered with ferns and gymnosperms, and thus a “living fossil”.
