Some, like the arctic woolly-bear caterpillars, just spend most of their life frozen. Just thawing out for one month a year to eat a bit, before eventually very briefly being a moth.

I hate the phrase missing link. It's like every time you find one, you create two more missing links.

Reply to comment by Discowien in "Green Mediterranean diet” high in polyphenols and fiber can reduce that visceral fat. After 18 months, those subjected to the diet saw a visceral fat reduction of 14 percent; eaters of the Mediterranean Diet saw a 7 percent drop. Visceral fat among “healthy eaters” was reduced by 4.5 percent by Wagamaga
>Green Mediterranean diet
It depends on how you define plant based. If you define it as a diet mostly focused on plants, then it is plant based. If you define it as a diet with no animal products, then it's not. Seeing as both are common usages of the word, my take away is that plant based is pretty much meaningless.
