Sheep Of The Sea Are Cutest Slugs We've Ever Seen

It’s a sheep! It’s a cow! No, it’s Costasiella kuroshimae (or ‘Leaf Sheep’ for short). This adorable little sea slug, whose beady eyes and cute feelers make it look like a cartoon sea sheep, feeds on algae – just like the real thing.

The adorable sea creature you see here looks like something out of a Pixar film but it's a real life sea slug with some awesome capabilities. Technically known as the Costasiella kuroshimae, this type of sea slug species is a shell-less cutie-pie that remains one of the only creatures in the world capable of using algae to photosynthesize.
