おもしろい事実

A Shag-Rug Nudibranch is a hermaphrodite, meaning each individual has both male and female reproductive parts.

Nudibranchs don't have a shell to protect them like snails; they rely on other cool defenses!

These sea slugs breathe through feathery gills on their back, not through lungs like us!

They lay their eggs in beautiful, spiral ribbons that attach to rocks or seaweed underwater.
