They're practically bizarre. Nate Send a noteboard - 26/08/2011 05:11:59 PM
They have an endoskeleton under their skin, but in many species it's become downright vestigial, consisting of little more than a few tiny withered bits and pieces. They're like gloopy blobs that are somehow alive.

EDIT - I originally wrote that they have an exoskeleton under their skin, which is completely against all laws of linguistics. Are the sea cucumbers that weird? No, but they're just weird enough to confuse my words.

How can they have an "exo"skeleton under their skin? Isn't that conflicting terminology? - 26/08/2011 06:43:54 PM 594 Views
