SOLAR-POWERED SEA SLUGS STEAL DNA FROM ALGAE

SOLAR-POWERED SEA SLUGS STEAL DNA FROM ALGAE

Several species of sea slugs can actually photosynthesize like plants, harnessing energy from the sun to produce food. Perhaps the most impressive example is a little green creature called; Elysia chlorotica, which can eat algae when it's very young and then spend the rest of its 10-month life basking in the sun, no eating necessary. http://www.newsweek.com/solar-powered-sea-slugs-steal-dna-algae-304783
