OHHH NO, OHHHHOHOH NO i cant BELIEVE this is a real animal and not a cartoon character from some pixar short
its real name is the costasiella kuroshimae, and theyre actually not nudibranches, but closely related sacoglossan sea slugs that feed on algea .… .. .. . . like … .. sheep
they were discovered off the coast of the yaeyama islands in japan, and theres not actually a lot known about em – a few members of the sacoglossa branch have the ability to steal chloroplasts from algea the eat and add it to their own bodies in a Really Unusual process called kleptoplasty, which might account for their vivid green color ?
either way theyre only 4.5 mm long and all they want to do is move super slowly and eat. a true hero among us
OK so like I know its important that we all become okay with the concept of doing things by yourself and not putting your life on hold because you’re alone, but don’t let anyone tell you that the want to be around people and have others to share experiences with, whether platonically or romantically, is pathetic or makes you inferior to someone who spends all their time alone
