YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Did you know spiders exist in the ocean? And...all their organs are in their legs 😲

While not true spiders, pycnogonids are marine arthropods related to crabs and spiders. Like some land animals and insects, they feed with their proboscis which acts like a straw to slurp up soft-bodied creatures like a liquid dinner smoothie.

The real stars of the show are the sea spiders legs. While these long multi-jointed legs help keep sea spiders from sinking in the silty seafloor they ALSO carry their vital organs in, reproduce from and breathe through tiny pores in their legs.

Let us know what other weird creatures you want to hear about.
