Uncanny. a few weeks ago, I found a manuscript of my Dad's from 1991. A sci fi allegory, a warning about ecosystem destruction. In it, aliens from another planet are intelligent kangaroo-like beings that have retractable wings. The wings allow them to photosynthesise. And in 1993, a sea slug was discovered that also does photosynthesis, although in its case by sequestering chloroplasts from algae. It's the Guardian's invertebrate of the year.
