As usual the picture doesn't do the subject justice. I did a paper on Hagfish last year and coresponded with a scientist on the topic. They are both fascinating and creepy creatures.

A "Bagfull O' Hagfish" sounds like this year's hot Christmas toy.

Just spotted this article on research on the hagfish, including a video. http://www.stuff.co.nz/environment/5868827/Amazing-footage-How-the-hagfish-repels-predators
I saw that and am planning to post on it - I think the photo included definitely does it justice! But please indulge me while I enjoy seeing my book cover up there for a little while longer before I add another post.

[Image] It's tough to keep up with all the ugly animal holidays this week, but we can't let Hagfish Day go without notice. At Whale Times, you can celebrate with a variety of craft activities, including (I am not making this up) a Hagfish Bouquet and Make Your Own Slime. Or if you're more the literary type, why not write your own Hagfish Haiku?
By the way, that's a photo of a whole bagfull o' hagfish dripping slime by Flickr user dirtsailor2003.
