THE WILD-MAN’S WILD FRIENDS VIDEO SERIES – EPISODE 56 – SEA SLUG

If you're looking for a marine gastropod that knows how to have fun, look no further!


There are a large variety of different types of Sea Slugs out in the ocean, and we finally found our first species on our last trip to South Padre Island in Texas. We actually found over ten of these, and even had a few ink on us.

These are actually a type of saltwater snail that has no shell. While they can slide across underwater rocks like a slug on land does, they can also swim through the water in a way that looks like they are flying, almost like an underwater butterfly. Here is a short video that I shot of one swimming.

It was great to finally encounter such a creature in the wild. Seeing things like this make me wish that we lived closer to the ocean, but at least we can still appreciate it when we get the chance. I try make my videos a little shorter when they are underwater creatures, but I hope that you still enjoy it.

The information is the video is original but I did have a quick refresher from this source.
