Heard of them before, didn’t know they resembled eels or were edible. Wonder if Mrs. Pauls or McDonalds products use the ugly buggers?

Thank you for the great article on hagfish and reminding everyone it is Hagfish Day! WhaleTimes.org created Hagfish Day to celebrate the ‘beauty of ugly’ and remind kids the even ocean animals with…non-traditional beauty are important! And who wouldn’t love these very cool creatures?
