SELF-DECAPITATING BEHAVIOR SEEN IN SEA SLUGS

SELF-DECAPITATING BEHAVIOR SEEN IN SEA SLUGS

​The body they leave behind dies.

Autotomy, the voluntary shedding of a body part, is fairly widespread in the animal kingdom, and is generally followed by the regeneration of shed terminal body parts, but now, two japan researches have found a extrem case of autotomy in photosynthetic sea slugs.

Under lab conditions, two species of Elysia sea slugs - know by their capacity to use chloroplasts from algal food into their cells to utilise for photosynthesis- were infected with parasites, after that, sea slugs self-decapitated, suggesting they do it to get rid of parasites.

According to researchers, the head, separated from body and organs, moves on its own immediately after the separation (as the GIF shown). Within days, the wound at the back of the head is closed, while the head feeds on algaes. At the first week the head starte the body regeneration, and by the third week, regeneration is completed.

Researchers Believe the slugs may use the photosynthetic ability of chloroplasts they incorporate from the algae in their diet, a proccess called kleptoplasty, to survive long enough for regeneration.

These findings in sea slugs represent a new type of autotomy in which animals with complex body plans shed most of their body.

Her Name Is Valentina Petrillo And She Is A Visually-impaired Sprinter.

Her name is Valentina Petrillo and she is a visually-impaired sprinter.

Time to support her, because even without the racism element I expect she will be getting some flak from Awful, Awful People.
