The Sea Star’s Back

Sea Star’s Back


A close-up reveals the backside of a sea star in Indonesian waters. This star boasts a full complement of five arms but it may not always keep them. When grabbed by a predator, the sea star can simply lose a limb and later grow a replacement. In fact, some species can grow a new body from just a single severed limb and a small part of their central disk.
