They're slugs that can photosynthesize, they're called leaf sheep (Costasiella_kuroshimae)
Imagine humans being able to photosynthesize, I would just lie around all day soaking up sun and do absolutely nothing, but I would look fabulous! I mean look at that amazing green leafy mane, that shit would rule.
It would mean sunbathing is a practical and useful activity instead of...?
Plus, I imagine being covered in those leaves would be super soft and you'd always be your own pillow
If you showed me a drawing of them and told me it was a new Pokémon, I’d believe you. Damn those things are cool
Wait there's ANIMALS that PHOTOSYNTHESIZE???? WTF??? Why can't we do that :(
You just haven't tried hard enough. Don't you know that guido's get 90% of their daily calories from sunlight?
didn't notice the tips of the leaves were pink until just now omg
imagine if you looked exactly like the thing you ate
like what if I just ate squishy, hairy, pink cylinders
I would like these two combined into a loop of permanent surprise, horror, and satisfaction
Imagine that you live on the thing you eat.
You also live on squishy, hairy, pink cylinders.
That looks like some sort of Pikmin creature crossed with a cow, lmao
I can see the cutscene of the Pikmin meeting and playing with the leaf sheep now, and it's adorable
Well I learned about a new critter today. They're extremely cute, but I'm also kinda horrified by them at the same time?
I wanna know what it feels like to pet their lil leaves, do you think they'd enjoy getting pets?
I hope so
I think I'm firmly in the "they're cute but I definitely don't want to touch them" camp.

that can photosynthesize
Whoah hold the phone.
I thought that was just camouflage.
That's so cool.
If you zoom in on the photo you can actually see the chlorophyll in the cells in the "leaves", especially the bottom left closeup :)
How do they have cute little eyes and blushing cheeks? They look like cartoon drawings of sheep !
I'm hoping someone nerds out and tells us all about these little cuties, I wanna know what the blushey cheeks are!
