Their shape and color change, depending on their environment and diet. There are many of them at beaches where the waves are calm.

Its search for food sometimes leads it onto land, where it leaves behind a sticky trail of slime as it passes through.

The softness of its body helps disperse the force of impacts, so although its body is uncommonly squishy, it’s also surprisingly resilient.
