The faceless, the headless, ivertebrates.
Not fish but sea stars. Classified as Echinodermata, the same group as of sea urchins and sea cucumbers.
Sea Star's don't have a face as well as they don't have a head. Like all Echinoderms, Sea Stars are also symmetrical but they do not have a front or back. They have five-or sometimes more arms. They contain hundreds of tiny "tube feet". Not only do they help them move, but these tiny tube feet also have been equipped with suction cups. These cups allow them to grip surfaces, also some feet at the very same time help propel forward or backward. It has a sigle tube foot on each arm, which is longer than other tube feet. It helps the Sea Star sense different chemicals in the water.
Created without eyes, nose, ears or a head, but it does have a mouth. Located in the centre of the bottom of it,s body. They usually feast on oysters, clams, coral fish and other small living creatures on the sea bed.
Unlike humans they easily open up an oyster, as they have mastered the trick. Once the shell of an oyster is slightly cracked, a jelly-like stomach comes out from the mouth and is inserted in the shell. It takes around a complete day to digest an oyster, till then the stomach has an out of the body experience.
Who would like to show their face if their eating habits were also so apalling.
