It's a sheep! It's a dairy animals! No, it's Costasiella kuroshimae (or 'Leaf Sheep' for short). This charming little ocean slug, whose beady eyes and adorable sensors make it resemble an animation ocean sheep, benefits from green growth – much the same as the genuine article!
What's intriguing about the little charming creature which can grow up to 5mm long and can be found close to Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines, is that they are one of the lone ocean animals on the planet that can perform photosynthesis (the others all have a place with the sacoglossa ocean slug clade). At the point when these peculiar creatures eat green growth, they suck out the chloroplasts and fuse them into their own bodies in a cycle called kleptoplasty. This cycle, which in any case must be performed by single-celled living beings, basically makes them sun based controlled slugs!
On the off chance that this charming little animal of the ocean has propelled you to rethink ocean slugs, at that point look at this delightful 'ocean rabbit' ocean slug to take care of business!
