SEA HARE

Description:

The Aplysiomorpha group, like it is called with its current scientific name, also is referred to as broad-foot snails (in German). This is because of those snails' parapodia, used to laterally stabilize the animal, when it is crawling on the ground, making for an especially broad foot. There are swimming species, too, such as the spotted sea hare, Aplysia brasiliana, using its parapodia to swim with undulating movements, like a cuttlefish does.
