The Adorable Solar Powered Sea Sheep

This tiny sea slug looks like a cartoon sheep and survives by photosynthesizing sunlight. By consuming algae, it steals the plant's chloroplasts to harvest energy just like a leaf.

Known as the leaf sheep, this creature is one of the only animals on Earth that can perform photosynthesis. It stores the stolen chloroplasts in its body, allowing it to survive for weeks without eating if it has access to sunlight. Scientists call this unique biological theft kleptoplasty. It is truly remarkable to see a mollusk thriving on a diet of pure light.
