Would it be poisonous? Would it have tentacles? Then take a minute and, based on what you came up with, try to decipher if the following statements are TRUE or FALSE:

Checked box symbol The hagfish may not have bones, but its body is covered in a nasty slime

Checked box symbol The hagfish has an amazing 14 sets of eyes

Checked box symbol The hagfish can slip inside the body of bigger creatures and feed on its insides

Checked box symbol The hagfish’s body changes color, depending on what color plankton it is near

Checked box symbol The hagfish starts out as both male and female, and develops into one sex later in its life

Checked box symbol The hagfish has the amazing ability to tie its body into a knot

Checked box symbol The hagfish drools gooey purple poison
