Summary:
"A hagfish's slime can protect it from enemies and also help it get food. The hagfish will cover its body with slime and squeeze inside the prey though its mouth. Then, the hagfish eats. This creature eats all its meals from the inside out! Fun text and eye-catching photos introduce the animal in all its gross glory"-- Provided by publisher.
