Say hello to the nudibranch. ^_^
There are over 3,000 different species of nudibranch. They are marine gastropods who lose their shell once they reach the end of their larval stage. The color and shape varies by an extraordinary degree making each of the species visually stunning in their own way.
Some nudibranch have cerata, a venomous appendage that contains the remains of the nematocytes of the creatures they eat. They are also capable of eating plant life and using the chloroplasts within to fuel themselves. Quite a resourceful critter.
Many of the toxins used for protection by the nudibranch are not deadly, but instead incapacitate their predator in some way while the nudibranch makes its escape.
They are hermaphrodites, but do not fertilize themselves.

Gravity-Defying Land Art by Cornelia Konrads

German artist  creates mind-bending site-specific installations in public spaces, sculpture parks and private gardens around the world. Her work is frequently punctuated by the illusion of weightlessness, where stacked objects like logs, fences, and doorways appear to be suspended in mid-air, reinforcing their temporary nature as if the installation is beginning to dissolve before your very eyes. One of her more recent sculptures, Schleudersitz is an enormous slingshot made from a common park bench, and you can get a great idea of what it might be like to sit inside it with this interactive 360 degree view.
