Ok i know people always say this on animal features but.. HOW IS THIS NOT A POKEMON? Photosynthesis slug!!! I love it
The new regional variant of Gastrodon
It is its called Shaymin
Someone get Gamefreak to the phone...
@LagiNaLangAko23 That is too strong. So it wont happen, it's like putting a damn SUPERMAN in a pokemon game, in terms of having no weakneses/low weakneses. So it will never happen.
Actually they remind me of Levos from the Chrono Trigger game
Those are the most adorable slugs I have ever seen
I agree they have bunny sea slugs beat but you should still image search bunny sea slugs cuz they're still cute.
nebulan Damnit, why are sea slugs so irredeemably cute?
agreed
I want a translucent plushie of them! Somehow!
And they should be in zoos with giant magnification lenses like those sculptures on the head of a pin!
Also, I'm gonna count leafy sheepies tonight for sleepies!
_too kyoot can't helppit_
Real life grass type pokémon, gotta throw them pokéballs.
No it's mine imma trade it with my boi allister
They're probably water-type hybrids, given they dwell in the sea.
Pedro Figueira water and grass typing:)
@@Shoebill1447 did someone said allister
Actually they remind me of Levos from the Chrono Trigger game
It looks like an artichoke, has the face of a sheep and, is a sea slug. Call me intrigued.
Hi intrigued im smart art
They are very pretty. I wonder how they taste. Maybe better not. It might kill me.
imagine if these sea slugs lived on land people will thought they have stumble upon an enchanted forest or something
@@NZMunchie like some sort of exotic forest slug dish
How can a real animal be this cute oh my god I want a plushie of it
Juul cat
And I want a generically engineers oversized Version of it, preferably the size of a cat :D
A plushie is a great idea! I would buy it
🐑❤
Um... Have you seen animals?
Oh my... I thought this was a weird caterpillar! Thank you for introducing us to these bizarre-looking little beasts! Be it resin, clay, wire, or crochet, I now know what my next craft project is going to be!
Your rhime made my day
Not to be rude but it’s *rhyme*
What was the project, and how did it turn out?
@@SkitAWulf242 Tried making one out of resin, clay, and wire. It turned out decent, except the resin I used never fully cured. It stayed slightly tacky, and the thing became a dust magnet. I'll try again eventually, but not with UV resin.
Nudibranchs, in general, are some of the most beautiful creatures in the sea. So many stunning color and texture combinations.
This isn't a nudibranch. Even said so in the video.
@@damyenhockman5440 I never said it was a nudibranch. I know these are sea slugs. He mentioned nudibranchs early on in the video, which led me to just share my thoughts on them. I think they are so amazing.
All are amazing!
...ooo, triple-A. Alliteration is the fourth!
I swear there could be an entire CZcams channel dedicated to seas slugs like there's so many and they're so unique
Leaf sheep? Oh this looks like a cute Pixar-like animated short!
*Reads the rest of the title*
WAIT WHAT
These leaf sheep are so cute! I am surprised they haven't entered the tropical sea aquarium trade. I hope you do Wollybear caterpillars. Which are neither wooly nor bears, but they are fuzzy.
they are so small, < 10mm, but who knows they can make it to some hobbyists here in the US and we can have them
Because of their colors, I suspect they might become semi-endangered because of the pet trade.
@@RuskiWaffle a cute little critter like this could definitely become endangered from irresponsible collecting. If it could be bred in captivity it could survive the ecological changes its habitat is going to experience soon. I'd like to keep a colony of them myself.
@@anthonymorris6312 well that's cool
"Penis Fencing." That's a thing that exists. In the world we live in. Depending on location and how widespread the sport is among the snails and slugs, penis fencing may happen in our front yards, in the middle of the day. Do they win the weirdest copulation technique award? Probably not, I'm pretty sure it would go to either jellyfish or sea cucumbers. Penis Fencing probably doesn't even make top five. That's the world we live in.
I think traumatic insemination takes the cake for the strangest sexual reproduction method.
@@davidbronstein2040 jellyfish spray it straight into the ocean, waiting for the slight chance it'll find another jelly, then the child is a polyp, an asexual anemone like creature, which slowly pops new jellyfish right off the top, like it's getting a haircut. Pretty sure it's sea cucumbers that inflate like balloons and let out in streamers, but that might be some worms. Traumatic insemination is just making a new whole to put it in.
I hear its a coming of age ritual in France.
It also happens on the shores of New Jersey. By humans.
@@zufalllx
Ew
That is the cutest slug I've seen in my entire life, and I require 20 for my salt water aquarium.
No scientific response today just a lil' squeee and the word Adorable!
Love tiny animals... this one is beautiful. Thank you!
I saw this on Instagram and hoped it would be an animal of the week. Awesome!
the leaf sheep has got to be one of the cutest sea slugs ever!!
This is probably the best animal of the week so far. I love this little slug.
They look like little succulents... I love em
How can they be so cute? I have a phobia of snails/slugs but this one is an exception
Who’s that Pokémon?
@Ricardo Diaz Hold up. Wait a minute
a new form of shellos, the south sea form
Shaymin!
its nudibar
It’s... a version of Gastrodon?
Omg it really does look like a stereotypical cartoon sheep wtf
This tiny lil sea slug made me start crying I love them so much they are leaf they eat algae like grass love them
Leaf slug
This pokemon lives in shallow waters and can photosynthesize
Types: grass, bug
There are so many animals that would be amazing to keep in the aquarium hobby!
I didn’t know I needed this in my life until 5 minutes and 35 seconds ago.
Thomas: These most adorable sea slugs may die out because of human actions.
Me, having seen a 5 minute long video: I'm grabbing a rifle and protecting these babies 'till I fall myself.
OMG THOSE PINK CHEEKS AND LIL EARS I CANT HANDLE THE CUTENESS! They kinda look like the pokemon goomy!
Yeahhhhhh!! Peter The Great ! I actually admire him, alot. Look forward to it alot. This little sea slugs are pretty, and interesting, thank you. 😊👍✨
Amazing! Thanks for showing such a cool animal, I love it!
Who else feels like giving this thing a hug.
this kleptoplasty ability seems so significant for possible study and crazy applications.
Yeah imagine if humans could use kleptoplasty for themselves or as an energy source for cars and machines
@@raphaelalavi9385 There is a thing called solar panels.
Tibovl oh yeah nevermind
please keep it up you guys, love this content
This is truly extraordinary!
Thanks for showing us our world is pretty fantastic!
theres alot of them here in Dauin, Philippines. I saw green, yellow and white! So tiny!
Been a while but I still live in hope for more worms, good to hear from you again
As most people familiar with marine life, like me, know, nudibranchs take whatever the properties of the stuff they eat, like kirby.
That is such an excellent and delightful metaphor! Thanks for pointing that out, I love it! 😁
Take a shot every time he says something is not something else or any variation of the word “Leaf”.
Thankyou! I learn something new today 😁😁
I didn't see the resemblance to sheep at first, but as soon as you said it, it became so clear.
Sea slugs are such amazing creatures. They come in so many different varieties that are all so beautiful, amazing, and often downright cute like this little guy is
*screaming* IT HAS BLUSH!!!!!!😭 0:44
Imagine just chilling on the beach then boom...
Grass/water type pokemon
Leaf sheeps are so cool and cute
Enjoyed!
Those little beady eyes are cute.
I think I found my new favourite animal
Thank you. Subscribed 🤗
years agp , I snorkelled with a beautiful giant snail -aplysia depilens , the european sea hare, in a cove in Paxos, it was one of those moments
Brilliant Video, Really Informative & Interesting, I Love These Animals, I Have Them On A T-Shirt :D
It looks like a Blue's Clues character!
Beautiful
It's so cute and friend-shaped! 😭😭😭
I want to hug it and never let go!
Awwww these are so cute😍
I have that same creature tattooed on my arm
Oh my! I've just watched your 'poodle moth' vid and a commenter mentioned these, I'm not disappointed. Cute af
i love how his face is just ( .. )
I’ve seen the leaf slug but it’s good to call it a sea sheep.
Welcome back
Oh great sheep of the leaves what wisdom dost thou have to share with us lowly mortals
"Watame wa warukunai yo ne"
@@KyoushaPumpItUp Thank you, Watamate.
@@NecromancyForKids no prob
Why ask a defunct panzer stuck in a lake when you can ask a gigantic sea sheep
omg so cute!
i need them!!
Since honey badgers can manage vemon
This means it can manage a black hole
The water bear could probably survive a black hole
Raphael Alavi but could a black hole survive a water bear?
@@Liethen or a black hole survive a honey badger
Timmy he's tiny, he's a leafy lamb with a lot to learn.
Shoopi boi
I never thought that I will find a slug cute
i wonder if they could be domesticated , like common we are thinking of wanting one as a pet. plus if their numbers go down from climate change we could save them. or just have them in every aquatic zoo so we can look at these cuties
So cute!
i love them so much...
When I saw the thumbnail for the video, I said to myself "That's Shaymin!"
YES
The cutest slug I have seen in my whole life
I don't know why but every time I think of it as an artichoke I just lose it laughing, lol.
WOW...that is so amazing...so cute and so intricate...kleptoplasty...what a power to be given🎇😁🎇
That's so scary! the stuff about algae blooms! I love the ocean and seas but I live in MI u.s so I've never been but would love to visit the ocean, The thought of all life disappearing is depressing.
Its so CUTE!
Here in the industry we also call them Shaun the Sheep slugs, or sapsucking seaslugs
Interesting what we live with on this planet.
I suggest also searching the video called leaf sheep. It has some nice music and showcases leaf sheep’s in their natural habitat
Leafy baby :)
Loved the agw bit at the end lol
YOU ARE LOVED MY GUY!
That's some weird looking leaf
Nice video
This looks like a boss from a rpg game
Adorable
I love it. It's cuter than puppies.
Now I've got a new favorite animal 😍💕
They're blushing 🥺
Sooooooooo Cute !!!!!!!!!!!
They're beautiful creatures of nature.
Wow! He's got a Southpark face too! 😅😂😂
He sounds like DeSinc
love you king
I have a extreme phobia of Slugs,if i was asked to hold a slug for 10 dollars i wouldnt accept,And if i see a slug near me i would freeze in place,but this slug seems to be cute,so i would be 10% fine around it
nice positive note on the end, goddamn :P
Could you imagine fighting over who's got to be pregnant?
bcus their eyes are so close together they look like funny cartoon sheepface rather than actual sheepface
AHHHGHHG SO CUTREEE
Oh cool a water/grass type.
