"Nature is so beautiful and strange and most of it we haven´t understood or even seen. This sea slug eats sea weeds and takes up the chlorophyll. With that it can then generate power by using photosynthesis. It also harnesses some genes from the plant matter to make its own chlorophyll basically becoming a plant-animal hybrid. It can then live for days off the sun without the need to feed itself. Crazy...."

Just think of the possibilities here---we could go to the beach to swim, surf, walk in the sand, play with the kids and soak up some rays AND WHILE WE ARE SOAKING UP THE RAYS WE ARE ALSO EATING AT THE SAME TIME! Going to the beach or just laying out on the lawn would be a cost-saving event! How convenient! How economical! We could all become fat cats!
