A green sea slug appears to be part animal, part plant. It's the first critter discovered to produce the plant pigment chlorophyll.

The sneaky slugs seem to have stolen the genes that enable this skill from algae that they've eaten. With their contraband genes, the slugs can carry out photosynthesis — the process plants use to convert sunlight into energy.

Moral of the story. Sea slugs will rule the earth after they eat our brains and steal all our super powers. DOWN WITH SEA SLUGS!

thanks to VO for the sick ass sigs.
