Description
The maximum length recorded for the California sea hare is seventy-five cm (thirty inches) when crawling and thus fully extended, although most adult specimens are half this size or smaller. Adult animals can weight up to 7 kg. A closely related species, Aplysia vaccaria, the black sea hare, can grow to be larger still.

“A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
“It is possible—indeed possible even according to the old conception of logic—to give in advance a description of all ‘true’ logical propositions. Hence there can never be surprises in logic.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“Whose are the truly labored sentences? From the weak and flimsy periods of the politician and literary man, we are glad to turn even to the description of work, the simple record of the month’s labor in the farmer’s almanac, to restore our tone and spirits.”
