SEA CUCUMBER
Sea cucumbers are echinoderms from the class Holothuroidea. They are
marine animals with a leathery skin and an elongated body containing a single,
branched gonad. Sea cucumbers are found on the sea floor worldwide.
A remarkable feature of these animals is the "catch" collagen that forms their
body wall.[Notes 1] This can be loosened and tightened at will, and if the
animal wants to squeeze through a small gap, it can essentially liquefy its body
and pour into the space. To keep itself safe in these crevices and cracks, the
sea cucumber will hook up all its collagen fibres to make its body firm again
