"Leaf sheep are one of the strangest kinds of animals on the planet.

They look like a farm animal, act like a plant, and live in the sea!

The little sea slugs are technically animals, but like plants, they get
most of their energy from the sun.

When leaf sheep eat algae, they suck out the chloroplasts and
incorporate them into their own bodies in a process called kleptoplasty."

Via Muse, who wrote "ZOMG! The KEWLNESS…it…it…is sublime!!!"
