Meet Melibe Viridis, a carnivorous sea slug with a gelatinous vacuum cleaner for a head. The fascinating sea-dweller interestingly uses an expandable oral veil to scan for prey as it moves along the bottom. When the sensitive papillae detect a crustacean, its usual prey, the inner edges of the veil quickly encapsulate it like a fisherman's cast net. It is a species of sea slug, a nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Tethydidae. (Video: Wonder of Science/Twitter) #LearningNeverSto
