Happy #HagfishDay! Never seen a #hagfish before? The hagfish is a slime-emitting ocean-dweller that's remained unchanged for 300 million years--and it shows. It has a skull (but no spine), velvet smooth skin, and a terrifying pit of a mouth that’s lined with rows of razor-sharp teeth. 🎥Crazy Monster | Smithsonian Channel

When a hagfish feels threatened it may exude copious amounts of a milky, fibrous slime from around 100 glands on its vermiform body. This defense mechanism is known to clog the predator’s gills during an attack — forcing the predator to release the hagfish to avoid suffocation. 🪱 | Science Channel

While this might not be the most appetizing to us, in so doing, hagfish perform an important ecological function, helping to clean and recycle materials on the seafloor. . .

Happy Hagfish Day, the fall holiday you didn’t know you were waiting for! 🧙 Did you know that many hagfish species are famous for their slime? When disturbed, they ooze proteins from glands in their skin that respond to water to create a slick outer coating. This expands into a huge mass of slime in just minutes to deter predators. These seafloor cuties also have thick "whiskers" to probe the seafloor for food. They play an important role in the deep sea as scavengers, devouring carcasses on th

Happy... Hagfish Day? Meet your new friend, the #hagfish, sometimes known as the slime #eel. They're exactly what they sound like, and they've been pretty much the same for about 300 million years. So why do they deserve their own day? Humans tend to focus on the cute or attractive #species, for obvious reasons, but we need to celebrate what all species have to offer if we are to truly explore the oceans.

Happy #HagfishDay! We found this #hagfish inside a sponge while exploring Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary in 2018. The #Pacifichagfish (Eptatretus stoutii) is a slender, slimy, primitive fish found in cold waters worldwide. Hagfish lack a jaw, true eyes, stomach, and major parts of the brain. Because they can’t see, hagfish have an outstanding sense of smell and touch – four tentacles around their mouth help them to find prey, while two pairs of teeth-like projections on their “rasping to
