"Pet" that needs lots of water LA Times Crossword Clue Answer
Let’s find the answers to "Pet" that needs lots of water LA Times for the October 25, 2024 edition of LA Times crossword puzzle. Answer Contains 4 letters. Start with C and end with A, and the possible solutions are CAVA, CECA, CHIA.
The answer is CHIA.
The crossword clue "Pet that needs lots of water" with the answer "CHIA" refers to the chia plant, known scientifically as Salvia hispanica. While not a conventional pet, chia seeds are often associated with the popular "Chia Pet" novelty item, which is a terracotta figurine that sprouts chia seeds, creating a green, hair-like appearance.
These figurines require regular watering to keep the seeds hydrated for germination and growth. Chia seeds themselves are also known for their high absorbency, as they can soak up water and expand significantly when hydrated. Thus, the clue cleverly plays on the dual meaning of "pet," referencing both the whimsical Chia Pets and the actual chia seeds, which indeed require ample water to thrive. This delightful wordplay makes "chia" an appropriate answer to the clue, connecting the idea of a low-maintenance, yet amusing, pet with the necessity of water for growth.
