Animal of the Day!
Headless Chicken Monster (Enypniastes eximia)
(Photo by NOAA)
Conservation Status- Unlisted
Habitat- Atlantic Ocean; Pacific Ocean; Indian Ocean
Size (Weight/Length)- 25 cm
Diet- Crustaceans; Benthic sediment
Cool Facts- While this creature has a horrifying name and appearance, it’s simply a swimming sea cucumber. Also called the pink see-through fantasia (which is a way cooler name), these cucumbers travel along the sea floor up to 6,000 meters deep. They eat mostly benthic sediment, essentially the waste product of the ocean ranging from tiny bits of food to fish eggs to literal waste. After feeding, their intestine becomes visible through their transparent skin. Little is known about the headless chicken monster’s way of reproduction due to their difficult to visit home.
Rating- 13/10 (Living life to its fullest.)
