[00:00:00]Did you know that sea cucumbers can literally eject their internal organs to defend themselves?

[00:00:05]That's right. When threatened, these fascinating marine creatures can expel their intestines and other organs through their anus as a diversion tactic.

[00:00:15]Not only does this create a distraction for predators, but they also have the remarkable ability to regenerate these lost organs over time.

[00:00:24]Found on ocean floors worldwide, sea cucumbers play an essential role in the ecosystem by recycling nutrients and keeping sediments clean.
