Here’s an excerpt from one of my all-time favourite pieces, which also happens to be my first climate piece on sea slugs, spotted in Shivrajpur, Gujarat, India. 👉🏻 In Japan, researchers have recently revealed that two new species of sea slugs can astonishingly detach their heads and regenerate their entire bodies from this point. “This feat of regeneration occurs within weeks and is truly mind-blowing,” marine naturalist Sangik Datta asserts. Unlike typical regeneration, these sea slugs can regrow their bodies from just their severed heads. The detached heads survive independently for weeks, thanks to their ability to photosynthesise using stolen chloroplasts. Remarkably, the original bodies can also live for days or months without their heads. “This represents the most extreme form of autonomy and regeneration observed in nature,” Datta notes 👈🏻 Though sea slugs may seem small, they play a significant role in nature’s grand scheme. These creatures teach us about regeneration and hold many secrets we have yet to uncover. If you ever find yourself in Shivrajpur, Gujarat, don’t miss the chance to go scuba diving—you’ll be amazed at the underwater treasures waiting to be discovered. https://www.forbesindia.com/amp/article/lifes/at-gujarats-shivrajpur-beach-discovering-the-climate-resilience-of-sea-slugs/94213/1 #seaslugs #forbesindia #shivrajpur
