When most people hear “sea cucumber,” they probably imagine a pimply green fruit that just happens to grow underwater. But while the price of a traditional “land” cucumber can be a couple bucks for several pounds, sea cucumbers will cost you a thousand times more. Not to mention, folks are willing to risk their lives to get hold of the thing!

SUMMARY:
- There are well over a thousand sea cucumber species. So chances are that whatever color, size, or shape you imagine, you'll find a sea cucumber within these parameters.
- For centuries, people in Asia have considered these animals a rare delicacy. Due to the high cost of these creatures, only the richest people could afford to enjoy this treat.
- There are also extremely rare "albino" ones. One 7-ounce white cucumber can cost approximately $16,000.
- The orchid mantis can hide from potential predators as well as lure their prey into a beautiful but deadly trap.
- What most of us call walking sticks, stick bugs, or stick insects are actually known as phasmatodeans in the entomology world. These strange-looking critters look exactly like twigs.
- Sea Sponge can feed on the filtered food particles. If something goes wrong and a sponge's cells get broken apart, they can always get back together and create a new sponge.
- Sand dollars are, in fact, extremely flat sea urchins. They use spines to catch and move their prey, such as crab larvae and plankton, into their mouths.
- Dead-Leaf Moth’s wingspan reaches an incredible 6 inches. And as you may have already guessed, its favorite pastime is pretending to be a dead leaf.
- Giant Tube Worms resemble some exotic underwater flowers. Tube worms depend on bacteria that live inside their bodies to feed.
