Researchers have identified several thousand species of sea spiders. Most of them live deep in the sea, at depths of over a ...

Nature finds a way. Even in the most inhospitable conditions on Earth, life figures out how to not only survive but flourish.

Unlike land spiders, sea spiders do not spin webs or dig burrows. Instead, they use a specialized tubular mouthpart called a proboscis to suck up their prey, such as sea anemones, jellyfish, and ...

Their mouth is a proboscis, which sucks the juices from the soft-bodied animals they eat. Sea spiders eat a diet of worms, jellyfish, sponges, soft corals, and other soft-bodied sea creatures.
