Nudibranchs are the shell-less relatives of the snail known for their garish colours and have the distinction of being the most colourful creatures in the world. They are just skin, muscle, and organs gliding on the ocean beds across the world. Nudibranchs are blind to their own beauty. They smell, taste, and feel their world using head-mounted sensory appendages called rhinophores. They track food with the help of chemical signals. Nudibranchs have both male and female organs and can fertilize one another, an ability that speeds the search for mates and doubles reproductive success.

According to folklore, the bright-red waters of Laguna Colorada in southern Bolivia are to be attributed to Gods’ spilled blood. But the real reason for its brilliant colours is the scientific explanation of algae. The lake is clear blood red, covered with gleaming salt, which looks like a painting. There is an interesting tale attached to these colours. It is believed that centuries ago the Gods lived here; they were so tall that they reached the sky. A beautiful Goddess named Tunupa became pregnant. As her baby was stillborn, Tunupa cried, and her tears mixed with the breast milk that her baby would never drink and together they formed a white lake. Tunupa, paralyzed by grief, became a mountain overlooking the salty expanse.
