I thought that this organism was especially interesting because it could be classified many different ways. It is an invertebrate, it is a plant, it is an animal. It has no backbone and it lives in the sea, it looks like a plant, it produces chlorophyll, but it is really a slug. “This could be a fusion of a plant and an animal — that’s just cool,” said invertebrate zoologist John Zardus of The Citadel in Charleston, S.C.
I thought that these were really interesting because they could be classified so many different ways; it depends on what the most important kingdom to classify something under is.
In my opinion, there should be a classification for things that fall under more than one category. I think that there should be special classification an 7th group for something that fits into more than one group.
It has adapted its self to produce chlorophyll and blend in with coral and other plants in order for it to be more transparent in its surroundings.
