This Cute Sea Sheep Eats Too Many Algae It Can Photosynthesize

Is this a sheep, or a cow, or a fluffy ball of happiness? Maybe all of it, but this creature has its specific name – it’s Costasiella kuroshimae (or ‘Leaf Sheep’ for short). This adorable little sea slug, whose dotty eyes and cute feelers make it look like a cartoon sea sheep, feeds on algae – just like the real thing!

Besides this, this tiny cute animal can grow up to 5mm in length and can be found near Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines. They are one of the only sea creatures in the world that can perform photosynthesis (the others all belong to the sacoglossa sea slug clade). When these weird animals eat algae, they suck out the chloroplasts and incorporate them into their own bodies in a process called kleptoplasty. This process, which otherwise can only be performed by single-celled organisms, essentially makes them solar-powered slugs!

Each parent has a different parenting style. With each parenting style comes a different way of showing a misbehaving child their wrongdoing, along with a different way of correcting such wrongdoings.

This father had a very terrible daughter. In his post in the Am I The A-Hole subreddit, he began by describing his daughter as someone who had a bad attitude and barely made it through high school. This is in contrast with her younger sister, who was the cream of the crop. To reward the younger, he thought of taking her on a fully-paid vacation. When the older heard of it, she wanted to come but agreed that she would pay her expenses. Come the day of the trip, the older hadn’t paid for her trip yet because she assumed that her father would vouch for her. Follow the full story below!
