Sea Creatures Uncut: Sea cucumbers
posted on May 17th, 2009 by Dustin at 9:00 pm (EST) with 13 Comments
I was reading about sea cucumbers on Wikipedia just now and discovered a couple interesting facts about their anuses.
Interesting sea cucumber anus fact #1:
Sea cucumbers breathe through their assholes! Water is sucked into the anus, where oxygen is extracted, and then the water is expelled. If humans had this ability, we would probably all live underwater because breathing would be more fun.
Interesting sea cucumber anus fact #2:
Certain species of tiny fish, worms, and crabs actually live inside the anuses of sea cucumbers. At night, they emerge to gather food. If humans had this ability, we would never be homeless because we could just go find a vacant sea cucumber anus to sleep in for the night.
Interesting non-anus-related sea cucumber fact #3:
Sea cucumbers are hilarious to have in photos because they look like giant alien dicks.

It’s true actually. Mermaids generally use them for masturbating.

Well, I was wondering what it would be like to eat one, so I wanted to see if they were poisonous.

Interesting sea cucumber anus fact #3:
Sea cucumbers’ digestive systems develop from their anuses to their mouthes, instead of from their mouthes to their anuses like most animals. And humans’ digestive systems do so too! Maybe we’re not that different from sea cucumbers after all…

So, if they are mermaid dildos, does that mean the white stream of goo is sperm too?

Absolutely, Kimberly. And that’s a great observation! Unfortunately, sea cucumbers cannot impregnate mermaids with their sperm
