Leaf sheep slugs possess a fascinating ability called kleptoplasty.

They consume algae and retain the algae's chloroplasts, which are specialized structures responsible for photosynthesis.

These chloroplasts allow the slugs to convert light energy into food, supplementing their nutrition.

This unique adaptation sets them apart and contributes to their vibrant green coloration. In essence, leaf sheep slugs can perform photosynthesis like plants, blurring the lines between animal and plant life in the ocean.
