If you
thought that sea bunnies were so cute, then you’ve to change your thoughts and
here’s chance to one more underwater treasure that will make you automatically
say “aww!" Costasiella kuroshimae (also referred to as "leaf
sheep" and "Shaun the sheep") is a species of sacoglossan sea
slug whose beady eyes and flat face make it just look like an attractive
cartoon sheep. Moreover few droopy feelers and a phosphorescent, leaf-like
body, and this little adorable may just be the prettiest slug in the ocean! The
stunning “Costasiella kuroshimae”, can grow up to 5 millimeters in length; can
be found near Philippines, Japan, and Indonesia. In the first look they graze
on green algae, and use the chloroplasts from their food to manufacturing their
own vitality in a process called kleptoplasty. One of the only non-plant
organisms in the world that can do photosynthesis, leaf sheep can live up to a
few months on the energy formed from “kleptoplasty”. Check Out Video at Youtube
