Sea Slug becomes half plant after eating one

dn16124-1_300.jpgNature is so beautiful and strange and most of it we havenīt understood or even seen. This sea slug eats sea weeds and takes up the chlorophyl. With that it can then generate power by using photosynthesis. It also harnesses some genes from the plant matter to make its own chlorophyl basically becoming a plant-animal hybrid. It can then live for days off the sun without the need to feed itself. Crazy....
