Happy April Fool's day! The animal of the week is very odd. It is a nudibranch! This is no April Fool's joke. The nudibranch is a relative of the sea slug. Some species are toxic, and have venomous appendages. They come in every colour imaginable, and are quite breathtaking to look at. Adults can be from 0.2 to 6 cm long, and have both male and female organs. The nudibranch lives in salty sea water, in basically any depth of water. Not many animals eat nudibranch, because they are often poisonous. All in all, the nudibranch is a very odd, but interesting creature of the sea!
