Sea Slug Named After Cape Verde Goalie | Global News
Description
A 40-year-old Cape Verde World Cup goalie, Vozinha, just became a marine legend—officially honored with a new sea slug species named Aldisa vozinha, discovered in the Caribbean. His viral heroics, especially in the nail-biting draw against Spain and the stunning near-upset of Argentina, catapulted him from obscurity to global fame, boosting his Instagram followers from 50K to 17 million. The biologist behind the slug’s naming, Jesus Ortea, chose the tribute to celebrate Vozinha’s “prominent role” and the slug’s red hue, matching Spain’s “La Roja.” It’s a wild crossover where football and science collide—proof that legends live on, even in the ocean.
