Sea cucumbers have bumps over their bodies but, unlike a cucumber, they come in a range of colors: brown, red, orange, yellow, white, blue, or even patterned. Ten species are known to be bioluminescent and scientists believe 200 more might be able to emit light. These strange animals—which don’t have eyes or a brain—come in a variety of sizes, usually ranging from 0.75 inches to 6.5 feet long. However some species, such as the Synapta maculata, or snake sea cucumber, can reach a staggering 10 feet. Sea cucumbers typically hold onto the seabed, or crawl along slowly, using tiny tube feet—projections from their body with suckers at the end that allow them to move, anchor themselves, or hold onto prey. However, when they need to pick up the pace, they can flood themselves with water to become more buoyant and float away on the ocean’s currents at speeds of up to 56 miles (90 kilometers) per day.
