The internet is full of surprises, I never thought I'd be seeing the word "adorable" linked to slugs today, or any day for that matter. I can only see them as adorable if I pretend they're caterpillars.

Dragons are real. And they live in the ocean.
Blue Glaucus or “the blue dragon” is a brightly colored nudibranch that incorporates toxic chemicals & stinging cells from prey into its skin as a defense against predation.
Facinating. I always associated chlorophyll with plant. Never with animal. Maybe there's an area of research here to see if they are unique in this. Cows eat grass. Hmmm🤔
DNA, even entire cellular syructures moving sideways, DNA added to creature's identity without sex. One of the Sea slugs that have aquired thevability to eat sunlight from plants.
DNA moving into a cell and altering it. Sunlight eating animals.
Makes Monsanto efforts at radical gene splicing seem just that much more insane.
@Sheril. Sheril, read a statement decades ago "Oceans have more amazing secrets under their bellies than entire World outside". More we discover, more we are convinced!. You, as a Marine Biologist can enlighten us more! 👍😇🌹🙏( You are already doing it, I learnt about you only after I joined Mostodon! Thanks Sheril.👍👏🌹🙏
/i:We need to find a way to introduce the pertinent genes of the sea slugs into cows, including gills, so as to offset their enormous #methane footprint./i 😉
