Happy #HagfishDay! Hagfish are relatively common in the deep sea. Many species of hagfish are notorious for their slimy skin. When disturbed, they ooze proteins from slime glands in their skin that respond to water by becoming a slimy outer coating, which expands into a huge mass of slime in just minutes to deter predators.
