Sea cucumber The sea cucumber can literally take on different body states - from hard to liquid - in order to defend itself. From wikipedia: �Like other echinoderms the cuke has a type of collagen in its skin capable of excreting or absorbing more water effectively changing from a �liquid� to a �solid.� They can turn their bodies into mush, climb through small cracks and then solidify into small lumps so that they cannot be extracted.� Even more amazing than effectively scattering yourself into pieces of your collective whole and then reassembling: the ability to turn yourself inside out so that your digestive tract�s toxic juices poison your enemies. Yeah, the sea cucumber can do that, too. Do not mess
