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.
