Leaf-sheep slugs absorb and use plant cells from the algae they eat. They use these cells to get energy from the sun through photosynthesis like a plant. These cells eventually die off but are constantly replaced. This process of stealing plant cells for animal use is called kleptoplasty. #leafsheepseaslug #nudibranch #seaslug #seaslugs #photosynthesis #wildlife #naturefacts #science #sciencefact #sciencefacts #marinebiology #marinebio Video credit unknown | Naturalist's Guide

Plot twist: this isn’t a Pokémon… it’s basically a solar-powered sheep. ☀️🐑 Meet the leaf sheep, officially known as Costasiella kuroshimae, a tiny sea slug that can photosynthesize. After munching on algae, it steals the algae’s chloroplasts and keeps them working inside its own body — meaning it can generate energy from sunlight for days after eating. At just 5–10 mm long, this little ocean grazer is part plant, part animal, and 100% adorable. Nature really said hybrid model. 🌊✨ #SeaSlug #Oc
