Charuni, a grad student in our lab, is now studying the swimming behavior of a sea hare, Aplysia brasiliana. Compared to other sea slugs, this one looks very intelligent. Especially when they are swimming. Peeping over the water, flipping over, making quick turns... They are not sluggish at all. Their playful behaviors make me even think like these creatures are almost as intelligent as dolphins.
