it’s another great day here at bunjywunjy dot tumblr dot com, and we thought we’d take a moment to re-introduce you properly to a creature that you might have met before.
meet the Sea Angel, a type of free-swimming sea slug that lives in oceans worldwide.
it’s also called a ‘Sea Butterfly’ because I guess ‘Tiny Ocean Flappy-Flappy’ was too lowbrow for their tastes
many posts have been dedicated to these little swimmers, usually focusing on how flipping cute these little guys are.
whee! take me home and love me forever!
and, in their defense, they are pretty adorable. in the same way that an axe murderer wearing a hello kitty hat is adorable.
see, most resources about these little guys conveniently forget to mention their diet. which is sea snails.
which they eat alive, after ripping them straight out of their own shells with the barbed tentacles that explode out of their heads without warning
pictured: nature is a heartless bitch and there is no god
we’d just like to take a moment to say: HOLY FUCKING SHIT, GUYS. LOOK. LOOK AT IT. FUCK.
whee! take me home and love me forever! so I can eat your skin
FUUUCK.
okay. now that we’ve had a moment to compose ourselves, we’d like to mention that we hope this doesn’t cast sea angels into a villainous light for you.
could you hate this face? yes? oh.
our goal here today was to a). correct misinformation and b). inform you that in fact, Sea Angels are boss as fuck, and we certainly hope we’ve succeeded.
that’s it for today’s BioTime Adventure, see you next time!
until then, remember to always check to make sure none of these are hiding under your bed.
