Join Coyote as he dives into the mysterious world of the hagfish! In this wild adventure, Coyote heads to California to learn about one of the ocean's most bizarre creatures. Watch as he and his friend Pat Spain discuss these elusive animals and put their bite—and their astonishing slime—to the ultimate test.
Hagfish slime is unlike anything else in the animal kingdom. This remarkable substance, capable of suffocating a shark, has baffled scientists for years, who have yet to replicate its properties. Coyote endures not one, but multiple "hagfish slime facials" to see just how wild this material really is.
Can he handle the gooey madness? Or will he be utterly slimed? Don’t miss this slimy, suspenseful, and unforgettable escapade!
