  1. Severed #seacucumber appendages don't seem to die
    Scientists have discovered bits of tissue removed from a species of sea cucumber called Psolus fabricii can keep on living indefinitely if they’re left in ordinary seawater.
    While sea cucumbers can easily regrow these legs and arms, they don’t have whole-body #regeneration like flatworms and some starfish do. Their severed bits don’t grow into new sea cucumbers. But it turns out they don’t die, either.

  7. Cookie dough? Nope, just the chocolate chip sea cucumber (Isostichopus badionotus). This critter has no true brain: Instead, a complex system of neurons helps it interact with its environment through touch and the ability to feel the presence of light. Found throughout warm, shallow waters in the Atlantic, this species grows about 1 ft (30.5 cm) long. Fun fact: There are more than 1,000 species of sea cucumbers!

  11. “A sugar compound found in sea cucumbers could hold the key to stopping the spread of cancer. (…) Yet, these animals have been continually harvested for culinary use, suffering great losses as overharvesting began to explode in the latter half of the 20th century.”

  12. Check out this exceptional sea cucumber from Singapore. Real nature can be more bizarre than fiction.

    The photograph is by @budak, well worth a follow on both Mastodon and Flickr. They find and photograph amazing animals.
