Interesting facts

With tomorrow's session in Wyke Regis School looming, I have been researching the Nudibranch's (SEA SLUGS) for interesting facts for the kids and have found these pieces of weird and interesting information:

1. The reason sea slugs are such bright and varied colours is because they take on the colours of their food. They use this, among other things, for camouflage. Gives a whole new meaning to you are what you eat.
2. Sea Slugs, like garden slugs, have a 'foot' and do in fact leave a slimy trail!
3. There are over 300 different types of sea slug.

I will leave my interesting facts at that for now. I plan to have at least 1 new interesting fact a week, something to help the kids learn more about the creatures their costumes are based on.
