This exists!
In today's volume of weird I am here to introduce you to a weird ass creature the existence of which I learned today:

https://youtu.be/3TqxBOKjVe8

It's really amazing how this weed like thing is actually an animal, much like us! Yeah, totally different but still an animal!

Scientifically it is known as Gorgonocephalus eucnemis, which etymologically makes absolute sense:

> GorgΓ³s meaning "dreadful" and cephalus meaning "head", and refers to the similarity between these basket stars and the Gorgon's head from Greek mythology with its writhing serpents for hair.

As you may have guessed, these creatures are cousins to star fish, and belong to a category of sea creatures known as basket stars.

[Euryalida](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basket_star) to be more specific, which features all kinds of weird and alien like creatures.

Like other basket stars, this one is a scavenger and feeds on a variety of small animals that it captures with its long arms that are used like a net. Fun fact, here's no anus, any undigested left over come out from the same hole they came in πŸ˜‚

Here's another video showing one eating krill

https://youtu.be/qpPdMohsCfk

And yeah, much like stars, they can also regrow their arms if they are lost due to predation, damage or whatever.

Ok I hoped you enjoyed discovering this creature with me!

Due to their deep sea nature it's not like there's much to know about them but you can head over the wiki article I linked above for some more info.

I will close this post with another great video, this time from one of my favorite YouTube channels (MBARI), showing some more of these creepy fuckers in action.

Enjoy:

Dammit, another youtube channel to subscribe to.

That is interesting though. I've never seen one. Looks like a bunch of tree roots . I love the etymology of the scientific name Gorgonocephalus
