Green Sea Slug: Animal/Plant combo!

This is really cool.  Well… it caught my attention anyway.  Apparently they have decided that the Green Sea Slug has the ability to create chlorophyll (the green stuff in plants), which is a key to photosynthesis.  After the baby slug eats its first plant, it won’t need to eat again for life (as long as it sunbathes).  What I find most interesting is that even though they don’t technically need to eat, they still do!  This just makes me believe that eating really is one of the best things in life!
