Mother Nature got drunk (again)

Author: staff | Filed under: Featured, Uncategorized

This isn’t a photoshop image, although it looks like it could be. No, Mother Nature just got a little too smashed the other night. First she waved off the platypus as a hangover, but now this: a sea slug that’s part animal, part plant.

“Shaped like a leaf itself, the slugĀ Elysia chlorotica already has a reputation for kidnapping the photosynthesizing organelles and some genes from algae. Now it turns out that the slug has acquired enough stolen goods to make an entire plant chemical-making pathway work inside an animal body.”

Father Time, you better get control of your woman, or she’s going to end up rooming with Lohan in celebrity rehab.
