Myxine Glutinosa, commonly known as the Hagfish, is a marine animal that belongs to the family Myxinidae. It is a jawless species of fish that is found in deep waters around the world. Despite being a rather unappealing creature, the Hagfish is a fascinating subject of study for marine biologists. There are various synonyms for Myxine Glutinosa, including slime eel, slime hag, and slimefish. These names are derived from the Hagfish's unique defense mechanism, where it secretes copious amounts of slime when threatened by predators. This slime can quickly clog the gills of the predator, allowing the Hagfish to escape unharmed.
