You're quite welcome.
Let me get right into this because it sounds really weird.
It looks like this discovery was sort of serendipity made by keen observation.
Not expected.
Take me through the discovery, please.
And why did they not disappear?
Sarah, do these body parts do anything or they're just sitting there on the glass or the side of the tank?
That's why you're calling them zombie parts.
Well, let's get into that a little bit more.
Why would they not be alive?
Why would they not be dead?
How are these body parts, so to speak, able to fight off being eaten, fight off bacteria, microorganisms in the ocean?
I mean, do they have an immune system to fight off infection?
Now, I know that sea cucumbers have mouths and stomachs.
How does a zombie foot or a tentacle part stay alive while not eating?
So would you say that it's still growing?
Can you see it expanding and growing, Sarah?
Were they trying to become the whole animal again or not?
And Sarah, you know, this sounds like it was a surprising result.
So what did it take to convince you that what you thought you saw happening was actually happening?
