Title

The Animal That Acts Like a Plant

Reading Text

This video is about a special animal called a slug. It lives in the ocean. It looks like a bright green leaf. Most animals must eat food to live. But this slug is different. It eats algae (water plants) and keeps their green parts inside its body. Now, the slug can use sunlight to make energy, just like a plant! It is half animal and half plant. It can go for one year without eating food.
