I have been showing this video to my students in the last few years at Vertebrate Zoology course and they just can't believe it. As we are pretty far from the sea in a small town of Mato Grosso, Brazil, not many of them will have the chance to see a hagfish. Thanks for sharing then.
@Oliviaa24 It was anesthetized and couldn't feel anything. Also, to extract the slime, the skin had to be irritated and it was covered in slime, so electricity is the best method.
Unless you are vegan or vegetarian, don't complain considering what we do to get fish on the table.
The fish is producing slime from its white glands on the side and the slime is actually protein that the fished produces. When being attacked, the fish releases the slime into its predators mouth which allows the hagfish to swim free as well as have its predator choke to death on the slime. This is how they have survived for around 3 million years. Want to know more? Visit my channel!!
All you guys are retarded that say it could turn a lake or acean into slime. Since you probably don'T realize size outside of your little town, I guess you fail to realize that a lake is a bit bigger than a glas.
Holy shit thats CRAZY!!!!!! I hope they dont turn all our water into Slime lol How does that work??? like what is it in them that makes that and why does it do that to the water???
Wow thats wher ky jelly comes from. My fish lectuerer actually said its for swimming up dead fishs (scavengers) asses as they feed from the inside out lol i think he was semi joking though
That's truly incredible
