hagfish

Today is Hagfish day.....  celebrated since 2009 it always occurs on the third Wednesday of October

Hagfish have no bones, jaws or scales. They are very much eel like and just like a sea hag they are quite ugly. The hagfish is more than ugly as it also oozes out slime at a quick rate. It has been shown that the ooze can fill up two gallon bucket in mere minutes. The hagfish loves to dine on dead animals. Their dining habits starts by crawling through the carcasses mouth, anus or gills and eats from the inside out.
