Hagfish Observation

Hagfish are sometimes 20 inches long. They have loose–fitting skin with no scales. Their mouthparts move horizontally with sharp projections to rip into fish flesh. They can’t see and don’t have any teeth. They produce slime into the predator’s mouth and it clogs its mouth causing it to die. They catch their prey by blending into the ground and wait for its prey to land by it. Eel skin is the same from a hagfish. They eat almost every type of fish.
