📖 Read about me

The hagfish releases tiny threads that expand into liters of sticky gel in under a second, clogging a predator's gills until it gags and flees. It ties itself in a knot to wipe the slime off, has no jaw or real bones, absorbs nutrients through its skin, and has survived 300+ million years.
