What’s your favorite, mind-blowing fact about hagfish? If you don’t see one you like, let us know in the comments.  If you need a refresher on hagfish anatomy, check out our new video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id1XEi7Jk7Y

A special shout out to Karl Menard, aquatic resources manager at the UC Davis @bodegamarinelab, for all his *slimy* assistance. That’s him below holding the slime!

We also would like to thank🙏 @MasseyUniversity, @MBARIvideo, @tepapa, Douglas Fudge @futke1, Randy Ewoldt of @Illinois1867, and Andrew Clark of @collegeofcharleston. It takes a scientific village to make one Deep Look episode!

I like how they move through a knot to clean off their own slime! Like a mobius strip shaped squeegee.
