Name that Kingdom
Hello, my name is Hydra. I was named after the mythical beast that grew a new head every time he ate something. I have a great body... I have lots of arms that help me stuff my face with food. Some of my single celled buddies are a fan of photosynthesis, but I prefer hunting for food.
