A leaf sheep (Costasiella kuroshimae) is a tiny, adorable species of sea slugβ€”or sacoglossan sea slugβ€”that looks remarkably like a cartoon sheep or a leaf. Found in shallow tropical waters near Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines, these creatures are famous for being one of the few animals in the world that can perform photosynthesis.
