Absolutely gorgeous! I'll bet it's deadly, too. 🤔

@wonderofscience Wow! That is one of the most extravagantly gorgeous creatures I've seen. A work of art. Thanks!
@wonderofscience That is mesmerizing. Reminds me of dragons in Tears of the Kingdom.
@wonderofscience Fish are aliens. I stand by that. They are incredible, magnificent, terrifying little aliens.
@wonderofscience Could there be more going on than just survival of the fittest? Surely not a god or a bearded male but some creative principle?
@wonderofscience Is it lethal? Looks like it could be.
@wonderofscience I think this was filmed on the set of The Guardians of the Galaxy brah...

It has found a way to use photosynthesis to live, has a "face" that looks like a cartoon cow, and has gone viral periodically ever since the start of teh #internets. 🥥https://nerdist.com/article/leaf-sheep-sea-slugs-animal-performs-photosynthesis-looks-like-a-pokemon/
