Sea bunnies are well known on the internet for they adorable appearance, but you certainly wouldn't want to snuggle one of these little creatures. Sea bunnies eat sponges which make them toxic, though they're still eaten by other animals like other sea slugs and cone snails. Sea bunnies come in all sorts of colors and patterns, some are white with spots, others yellow, and some even have red stripes! Because they blend in so well with the food the eat (they live on their food), they can be really tough to spot, so it's thought there are likely more sea bunny species yet to be discovered!
