@.extremenature: The Sea Slug That Looks Like a Bunny — and Steals Poison From Everything It Eats (Sea Bunny) Nothing about its appearance is what it seems. Those rabbit ears detect chemical signals in the water. The soft fur is a layer of sensory rods. The fluffy tail is a set of external gills. The sea bunny has no shell. No venom of its own. It feeds almost exclusively on toxic sponges — absorbing their poison directly into its skin without being harmed by it. That stolen toxin becomes its only defense. Some of those same compounds are now studied in human cancer research. It didn't earn that harmless appearance by accident. It stole every part of what keeps it alive. Did you know some of the most toxic marine compounds are now being researched as cancer treatments?
