Back to Main Page The Hagfish's amazing way of producing its Slime Note the coiled protein molecule that conveniently unwinds into a long thread. From the video: "What keeps the boneless, jawless hagfish thriving after more than 300 million years? SLIME. The goop it exudes – a mix of mucus and special protein cells– expands to 10,000 times its original volume in less than half a second, potentially clogging the gills of competitors." At the 2:03 mark, the protein threads are explained. The claim is that the Hagfish is unchanged over 300 million years. How did this creature 'evolve' its defenive slime proteins. Until the entire protein can be produced instantly by the thousands, the animal would be defenseless. Praise God Endlessly for His Designs!
