thelizlords:gallusrostromegalus:karlayst-blog:I was reminiscing and decided that the California Black Sea Hare (Aplysia vaccaria) needed a photoset dedicated to it. Not only do they get huge but they’re super velvety soft. The nerdy young woman with one draped over her arm is me.They’re really curious too! We had one in the touch tank at Marine Science camp that would amble over to investigate fingers if you left your hand in the water. It’s like if a sea slug were some kinf of Kitten-Bunny hybrid and getting nosed by one feels like getting fondled by a sack of wet suede.they also make royal purple ink which is pretty cool too i guessOne was on the beach close to but not in a tide pool all crunched in on itself and I put it in the water and then it’s little face perked up, very cute 10/10 would gaze at adoringly again -- source link
