Hagfish Slime

Slime, or mucus is used by many animals both on land and in the sea, but Hagfish have the outstanding ability to defend themselves by producing an incredible slime when touched. It comes from the glands along the side of their body, and within minutes literally liters of it can be produced. Despite being one of the most primitive vertebrates alive, this rare species is certainly strange and wonderful! Our oceans harbor amazing species that despite being a bit weird, are still worth protecting.
Hagfish predatory behaviour and slime defence mechanism

Hagfishes (Myxinidae) are a family of jawless marine pre-vertebrates. Those video images taken in New Zealand revealed that hagfishes are able to choke their would-be predators with gill-clogging slime.It also shows that hagfishes are actively preying on other fish in New Zealand waters. The video is part of a scientific paper describing this newly discovered behaviour which can be downloaded online at www.nature.com Zintzen V., Roberts, CD, Anderson MJ, Stewart AL, Struthers CD & Harvey ES (2011) Hagfish predatory behaviour and slime defence mechanism.

Scientists film hagfish anti-shark slime weapon

The hagfish found in New Zealand's deepest waters is grotesque enough, thanks to its scary protruding teeth straight from a horror film. Now, scientists have witnessed the full power of its other gruesome feature -- a built-in slime weapon to deter predators such as sharks, making it one of the planet's ultimate survivors.

Fossil Hagfish Tells Story

John 7.24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment. Many of God's creatures are beautiful. However, some of them, like the appropriately named hagfish, strike us as ugly. Not only does the hagfish look like something out of a science fiction movie, it has bad habits. The hagfish looks like an eel with whiskers. It has no scales. When handled, a slippery slime oozes from its skin, which explains its other name, the slime eel. It lives at moderately deep levels of the world's oceans. Its single eye is beneath its skin. It has no jaw. However, it does have true teeth both in its mouth cavity and barb-like teeth on its tongue. The hagfish eats dead fish, sometimes entering them and eating them from the inside out. One wonders why God made such an ugly creature that seems so disgusting. The oldest evidence of the hagfish is a fossil in ancient rocks. While we can discount the inflated evolutionary years that are used to date these rocks, it does appear that the fossilized hagfish died when the world was still young. Yet this fossilized hagfish is identical to the modern hagfish. To paraphrase one scientist, no evolution has taken place. It appears that God has an important job for the ugly and impolite hagfish. The hagfish shows that evolution has not taken place. Beauty, or lack of it, doesn't always witness to our Creator, but the truth unfailingly does!

Hagfish predatory behaviour

Hagfishes (Myxinidae) are a family of jawless marine pre-vertebrates. They are thought to fulfil primarily the ecological niche of scavengers in the deep ocean. However, this footage from baited video cameras captured images of hagfishes actively preying on other fish in New Zealand waters. The video is part of a scientific paper describing this newly discovered behaviour which can be downloaded online at www.nature.com Zintzen V., Roberts, CD, Anderson MJ, Stewart AL, Struthers CD & Harvey ES (2011) Hagfish predatory behaviour and slime defence mechanism.

Hagwater - Hagfish demo

Hagwater.com Lyrics: She is a bottom feeder, a lowlife That's why she closed her eyes Created a pond of make-believe Just to have, just to have a place to spy In time she might stand up And walk among, among us all Or she might shrink to the size of nothing Making it hard to breathe Undetected she was waiting Beneath the black depths Undetected she was watching Watching us undress After all it's kind of funny How everything turned out She shrunk to the size of nothing Making it hard to breathe
