The eyes of a conch.
Leaf sheep are one of the strangest kinds of animals on the planet.
They look like a farm animal, act like a plant, and live in the sea!
The little sea slugs are technically animals, but like plants, they get most of their energy from the sun.
When leaf sheep 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!” Bored Panda notes.
The funny little creatures have the face of a cow or sheep, but a back that looks like a house plant.
They’re only about 5 mm long and can be found in shallow marine waters in Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines.
Preparing a woodpecker for winter.
First he finds a dead tree and starts making holes for the acorns. Each hole is made very thoughtfully, because if the hole is large, other birds can easily steal the acorn. If the hole is narrow, the nut can break and deteriorate. By the end of summer, the woodpecker's “jewelry” work ends, by this time the acorns ripen and take their places in the tree. The trunk of a large tree can hold about 50,000 acorns, allowing the bird a satisfying winter.
Owl eyes are shaped like tubes and therefore cannot move & that's why their heads have such range of motion.Lit completely by Glow Worms.
