## What you should know

Completely safe, the seeds are a snack, and the ASPCA lists it as non-toxic to pets.

## Whoa

Young sunflowers turn to follow the sun across the sky all day, then swing back east overnight to be ready for sunrise.

## Staying safe around it

This one is genuinely harmless to people. Still look with your eyes and let it go about its day.

**Always ask a grown-up before you touch any animal or plant.** If something bites or stings you, tell an adult right away.
