What keeps the boneless, jawless hagfish thriving after more than 300 million years? SLIME. The goop it exudes - a mix of mucus and special protein cells - expands to 10,000 times its original volume in less than half a second, and can clog the gills of its competitors.

We hope you enjoy this first look at the newest episode of our 10th season🎉!  You can start sharing it with other science fans on Tuesday, January 24 from YouTube. Thanks!

Thanks! I teach both High School Chemistry and Marine Biology and in the Hagfish, those two subjects merge in a very dramatic way !
