@jrexplains: Hagfish have one of the strangest defense mechanisms in the ocean. When threatened, they release mucus and microscopic protein threads that form a mass of slime in seawater, interfering with a predator's gills. The biology behind this process is incredibly interesting, and includes loads of chemistry too, so lets break it down! #biology #STEMTok #sciencetok #learnontiktokcontest #evolution
