Well it is - but the name it's commonly known by is slightly misleading. It's a member of the sea slug family.
Yes. It has a few 'common' names - is also known as the sea sheep (I'm currently mulling over writing a P1 reader called Sean the Sea Sheep). It's one of the few animals that can photosynthesise - it partially digests algae but leaves the chloroplasts intact and stores them in those green, spiky appendages. Over to you.
Cheers - am running out of questions... The earliest what was created using Bitumen of Judea - and the oldest known example still in existence is what?

I'm not sure that it was the first photo, but you got it - it's the oldest surviving photo 'View from the Window at Le Gras' from 1827, taken using the photographic process Heliography. The process, which involves using a glass or metal plate with a thin coating of Bitumen of Judea, was invented by Joseph Nicephore Niepce in 1822 - apparently he took this shot by focusing a camera obscura on a pewter plate for eight hours... Back to you.
Well that didn't take long... Yes - researchers have found that albatrosses, who normally stay with the one partner thoughout their lives, are having to search for food further afield due to warmer sea temperatures - meaning that their 'spouses' are looking for new mates during their more lengthy absences. Back to you.
