[Science & Nature] Plan...imals?

Something has been discovered recently that is super awesome... An animal that has absorbed so much plant DNA that it has literally acquired some of the plant's abilities. Mainly: Chlorophyll. That's right. The animal can create chlorophyll, which we know allows the being to turn sunlight into energy. BIOLOGICAL SOLAR PANELS. Amazing... This is quite the breakthrough in evolution, and I'm very excited to learn more about it.

Here's a link to the original article:
Green Sea Slug aka Chloroslug!

We know what's next... We figure out a way to inject our DNA with it and then we'll solve the world hunger issue.

now thats downright scary. are you gonna eat food produced by a slug??

No, silly. lol If we were able to incorporate it into our DNA we would be able to fuel our bodies with energy generated through sunlight and photosynthesis. :)
