Sea Star (Starfish) HMM
Macro Monday's 15-07-2019 theme this week is "Patterns in nature"
I thought this Starfish (Sea Star) skeleton washed up on a beach looked nice.
This image shows the top section and five calcareous segments protruding upwards.
Most Sea Stars as scientists would like them to be called have five arms, they are simple sea animals lacking a brain.
They have calcareous plates that move with one another to form flexible joints.
The mouthpiece is located in the center of the underside.
They eat using their stomach that leaves the mouth and surrounds the prey, then returns to the mouth ..... gross.
Sea star's have a 35 year lifespan, and have no blood either.
There are 2000 different species of Sea star.
Oh' yes the Sea star can regenerate and grow back a lost limb, but it would take around a year to achieve.
They only live in saline seas, not fresh water.
HMM .... everyone
Love & Peace π
Many thanks for looking at my images .... Really Appreciated.
