For the past 20 years, Fudge has studied these bottom-dwelling marine animals capable of producing startling amounts of defensive slime when provoked. He and his team recently described how hagfish behave and move within sediments in a new paper published in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.biologists.com\/jeb\/article-abstract\/227\/12\/jeb247544\/357803\/Biphasic-burrowing-in-Atlantic-hagfish-Myxine?redirectedFrom=fulltext\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Journal of Experimental Biology<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. To do so, the scientists created a <\/span><b>specialized tank of transparent gelatin.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> They discovered that hagfish create a u-shaped burrow by utilizing a \u2018thrash\u2019 phase with vigorous swimming coupled with side- to-side head movements, followed by a \u2018wriggle\u2019 phase that continues until the head of the hagfish pops up out of the substrate.
