|
Five
|
|
Sea cucumbers can undergo...
|
Evisceration
|
|
What is evisceration?
|
Expelling viscera or internal organs, can expel all internal organs
|
|
What are the two theories of evisceration?
|
1.) Defense mechanism
2.) Seasonal |
|
Why can evisceration be though to be a defense mechanism?
|
Eviscerate then predator has something to feed on as sea cucumber escapes, some say there is a distasteful chemical that animals learn to avoid
|
|
Why can evisceration be though to be seasonal?
|
Very species dependent, but doesn't need organs during low productivity times like winter
