Costasiella kuroshimae: charming sea slug similar to the sheep

It's a sheep! This cow! No, this is Costasiella kuroshimae. This charming sea slug, whose beady eyes and ears-receptors makes it look like the sheep cartoon, eats algae. And is the only living thing in the world, capable of photosynthesis.





Slug grows up to 5 mm in length and inhabit the waters of Japan, Indonesia and the Philippine Islands.

Eating algae, the slug sucks the chloroplasts and incorporates them into their internal organs. This process essentially makes slugs solar panels!
