A sea hare (Aplysia kurodai) about 10 cm long in total length has been filmed in a tide pool during low tide. It passes over a gap on the bottom by first extending the body forward and then contracting and pulling the posterior body. Its two sets of tentacles are long as compared to the body length. The sea hare moves while touching the bottom with the pair of front oral tentacles. It can change the direction of movement rather quickly. (translated by Asoh)
