Rebecca Helm is a biology professor at the University of North Carolina Asheville. She collected images and videos of the most cute and colorful creatures you've ever seen in one Twiiter thread! They aren't Pokemon, but they are just as charming and they have the advantage of being real. Shown above is the blue sea dragon (Glaucus atlanticus), a kind of nudibranch. But that's just the beginning.
Blue button jellies. They will hypnotize you with their floating tentacles. Can also trap tiny crustaceans. Excellent distraction during Pokemon Multi Battle. Can be defeated by blue sea dragon. Do not mix. https://t.co/7p9IjA4CFX

Oh, there are a lot more of these in her Twitter thread, and they aren't limited to ocean creatures. There are birds, insects, land animals, and even a plant or two. Just the thing to make you appreciate the diversity of the world's wildlife. -via Digg
