For most people, seasickness is the most unpleasant thing they experience at sea. However, beneath the surface is a whole other world, and a lot of it could turn all but the strongest stomachs.When attacked, the hagfish (also known as the slime eel) ties itself in a knot that travels the length of its body, squeezing out mucus by the bucketful and making it impossible for a predator to keep hold. To eat, a starfish regurgitates its stomach, digests its food then swallows its stomach back down again. Pearlfish stick close to sea cucumbers, whose bowels they swim into when dangers near. And with shark attacks and jellyfish encounters, the oceans take on another level of repulsiveness when man dips his toes in the water.The underwater world remains a frontier we know even less about than space. Some of the species covered in this book are beyond the imaginations of science fiction writers. Entertaining yet informative, the idea is not to wallow in grossness with the intention of putting people off their dinner, but to explore just how fascinating and alien our own world can be.Highly illustrated, and with stories and anecdotes that help bring a human perspective, this book demystifies the natural world beneath the waves, and shows how its not quite so shocking when you understand why these creatures have evolved the way they have.
