The world's first androgynous sea slug

According to the mirror on August 15, a diver and a film production team have found the world's first two headed, bisexual sea slug in the waters near Kapalai island in Eastern Malaysia. Its unique shape is very attractive.

It is reported that the strange sea slug was discovered by diving enthusiast Nash Baiti, when the world-famous underwater photography company 'scubazoo' was also shooting a new series of short films in Borneo. According to the measurement, the length of the slug is about 25 mm, and it is speculated that it will grow to 120 mm in the future because it belongs to the kind of sea slug that can psychedelic other creatures.

Clay Bryce, a mollusc expert and undersea biologist who went with the film company to shoot at the time, said: 'in my experience of tracking mollusks, I have never seen a two headed sea creature like this sea slug. Generally, this kind of creature is a deformed species and usually dies at an early age. This is the first time that a sea slug has grown into adulthood or near adulthood. 'clay also analyzed that the slug would grow like this, probably because of a mixture of genes, and also because of contamination. He looks forward to finding more similar creatures in the future.

Bertie, the film's anchor, said: 'when Nash first reported his findings to us, we didn't believe it because we had limited time, and we didn't want to waste time exploring conjecture, but when Nash went down again to find the two headed sea slug in the same place, we were all stunned. Then I spent nearly an hour filming the details of it. In addition, local residents also said that although they often found some strange creatures in the sea area, the two headed sea slug still surprised them.
