<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>Question 8-18<O:P>
</O:P></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Certainly no creature in the
sea is odder than the common <BR>sea cucumber. All living
creature, especially human beings, <BR>have their
peculiarities, but everything about the little sea <BR>cucumber
seems unusual. What else can be said about a bizarre <BR>animal
that, among other eccentricities, eats mud, feeds <BR>almost
continuously day and night but can live without eating <BR>for
long periods, and can be poisonous but is
considered <BR>supremely edible by gourmets?<O:P>
</O:P></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For some fifty million
years, despite all its eccentricities, <BR>the sea cucumber has
subsisted on its diet of mud. It is <BR>adaptable enough to
live attached to rocks by its tube feet, under <BR>rocks in
shallow water, or on the surface of mud flats. <BR>Common in
cool water on both Atlantic and Pacific shores, it has <BR>the
ability to suck up mud or sand and digest
whatever <BR>nutrients are present.<O:P> </O:P></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Sea cucumbers come in a
variety of colors, ranging from <BR>black to reddish - brown to
sand - color and nearly white. One <BR>form even has vivid
purple tentacles. Usually the creatures are <BR>cucumber -
shaped - hence their name - and because they are <BR>typically
rock inhabitants, this shape, combined with
flexibility, <BR>enables them to squeeze into crevices where
they are safe <BR>from predators and ocean currents.<O:P>
</O:P></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Although they have voracious
appetites, eating day and <BR>night, sea cucumbers have the
capacity to become quiescent <BR>and live at a low metabolic
rate - feeding sparingly or not at all <BR>for long periods, so
that the marine organisms that provide <BR>their food have a
chance to multiply. If it were not for this <BR>faculty, they
would devour all the food available in s short <BR>time and
would probably starve themselves out of existence.<O:P>
</O:P></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But the most spectacular
thing about the sea cucumber is <BR>the way it defends itself.
Its major enemies are fish and crabs, <BR>when attacked, it
squirts all its internal organs into the water. <BR>It also
casts off attached structures such as tentacles. The
sea <BR>cucumber will eviscerate and regenerate itself if it is
attacked <BR>or even touched; it will do the same if
surrounding water <BR>temperature is too high or if the water
becomes too polluted.<O:P> <O:P> </O:P></SPAN></P>
