Are Sea Cucumbers Clones?
The question is, “Are Sea Cucumber’s clones?”
Did you know, that a sea cucumber is a scavenger that
eats algae and waste particles and can grow up to three feet long?
If you cut one in half it becomes two separate sea
cucumbers.
The more pieces you cut out of a sea cucumber, the more
individual live sea cucumbers are created.
So, with this in mind is it possible that they were all
cloned from the first ever sea cucumber?
Interesting ah?
I read that they can be eaten in a soup, in a stew or
even stuffed with meat, however I’ve never tasted one and I’m not likely to
either.
These amazing creatures are doing a great job keeping
the algae levels down. Their regeneration skills are basically out of this
world, literally.
For all we know, this creature could have come from out
of space, bought to Earth on the back of a meteorite, where it crashed into an
ocean and began to thrive.
Buy hey, what do I know I’m not a Marine Biologist.
What do you think?
