Isn't this like really old news?

It's a bad title. We've known about kleptosomes for a while, but this study talks more about how it works: how the stolen organelles are maintained by the animal and used as an energy source when there's no food. (Interestingly, when they start to break down the commandeered chloroplasts, the plasts degrade like they do in nature, leading to a color change for the slug!)

"Now we'll just add some green. Ah, yes. Nice algae and beautiful photosynthesis."
