Starfish Are Meant to Shine

Starfish, more accurately called Sea Stars, are star-shaped echinoderms (animals) that can be found in all the world's oceans. There are over 2000 species of Starfish found on every shoreline to the depths of the deepest oceans. Instead of blood, starfish use the water around them in a primitive version of a vascular system  used for locomotion, adhesion, food manipulation and gas exchange. Some starfish’s stomachs can be everted from their body to engulf and digest food.

Most starfish have the ability to regenerate lost limbs. In some species, a single arm can regenerate into a whole new individual.  If that isn't cool, the hosts don't know what is.  If there’s enough food around, Starfish might even bud and reproduce asexually. All this means is that under the right conditions, starfish can reproduce rapidly, which may have saved them from a zombie virus off the coast of Western America. 

However, that is just the tip of the iceberg of how cool starfish really are.  Listen now to learn more about Sea Stars, the Starfish you’ll find in all the oceans.
