Young Scientist Spotlight:
HANNAH HERBST
Alert: Cuteness Overload!
Cutest animal in the ocean? Keep your Sea Otter. Forget the Dumbo Octopus. Axolotl? Close, but no cigar.
The winner of the Cutest Sea Animal prize is the Leaf Sheep Slug.
Yes, a slug. This tiny (5mm) animal, found near the Philippines, Indonesia, and Japan, looks like a cartoon sheep covered in bright green leaves with pinkish purple tips.
Bonus: it’s one of the only animals that can perform photosynthesis, thanks to all the algae it eats.
Beat that.
