What are some examples of slimy animals?

Answer 1

The ultimate example on land is the slug. Its mucous covering protects its tissues from dehydration.

Compared to slugs, the slimy salamander is more smooth than sticky.

Water salps and jellyfish have gelatinous bodies that feel slimy. They float in the water.

The blobfish, which seems to have an ugly big-nosed face, and the munkfish, which just looks angry, are both deep-sea fish with tissues that resist compression. Similarly, the harmless echinoderm called a "sea pig" or cthulhu larva is simply a bag of Gelatin-like tissue. When parrotfish take a nap in shallower water, they cover themselves in a bubble of thick slimy ooze.

The gooiest of sea creatures is the hagfish, an eel which can secrete liters of sticky slime to thwart its predators, with a very real threat to clog the attacker's gills!

*Many types of mold and pond scum are slimy plants, including the invasive rock snot (didymo) of Australia, which looks like brown slime but feels like wool.
