What is a sea bunny? | Surprising Science

Have you ever heard of a sea bunny?
These adorable, soft-bodied creatures are part of a group of animals called nudibranchs.
While these sea slugs bear a resemblance to a rabbit, their features are actually functional. Museum Scientist Suzanne Williams explains.

They walk (or slither) on the fine line between cute and creepy.
