Starfish (Sea Star) - Thursday, 26th Feb 2009
Again....Don't blame me..........cuz' Im sooooo bored at the office again haha!...then I found out a bit information bout' Starfish and I would love to share it with you :)
well here goes....weeeeeeeeeeee
Type: Invertebrate
Diet: Carnivore
Lifespan: 35++ years
Size: 4.7 to 9.4 in (12 to 24 cm)
Weight: Up to 11 lbs (5 kg)
Some people called it Sea Star (the star in the sea) and our local called it "Tapak Sulaiman" (why not "Bintang Laut"??)
Although we called it Starfish, Starfish is not a Fish hahaha get it?
It’s an 'echinoderm', closely related to Sea Urchins and Sand Dollars.
The five-arm varieties are the most common but species with 10, 20, and even 40 arms exist....WOW!
They have bony, calcified skin, which protects them from most predators, and many wear striking colors that camouflage them or scare off potential attackers.
Starfish are famous for their ability to regenerate limbs, and in some cases, entire bodies! (Imagine human can do that)
Did you know?
Sea stars have no brains and no blood. (That do explain why Patrick Star is dumb haha)
Their nervous system is spread through their arms and their “blood” is actually filtered sea water.
