Hagfish and the Disgusting Slime

yEah THATS interesting. but damn Why slime?

Apparently the slime is produce by the mucus they secrete that combines with water. So they need to be in water to make all that.

I found this explanation on Wikipedia...

"Hagfish are long and vermiform, and can exude copious quantities of a sticky slime or mucus (from which the typical species Myxine glutinosa was named). When captured and held by the tail, they escape by secreting the fibrous slime, which turns into a thick and sticky gel when combined with water, and then cleaning off by tying themselves in an overhand knot which works its way from the head to the tail of the animal, scraping off the slime as it goes. Some authorities conjecture that this singular behavior may assist them in extricating themselves from the jaws of predatory fish. The "sliming" also seems to act as a distraction to predators, and free-swimming hagfish are seen to "slime" when agitated and will later clear the mucus off by way of the same traveling-knot behavior.

An adult hagfish can secrete enough slime to turn a large bucket of water into gel in a matter of minutes."

does he really say "just a little thinner than my own cock?" or maybe I'm hearing things.

it really hurt my ears..

Hag fish are a

japanese specialty food, and is an expensive dish.
Can you imagine ?

Is it from inside the fish? How come after producing such slime, the fish never become thin? Or the fish transforms the water? I can't clearly notice whether the water drain or not.

science should be able to use that slime for something

does it have any use i am sure then will a valubel fish?

it is slightly perverted, get a girl friend, however i have an idea for the uses of the slime, lube for sex haha
