The Antarctic Sunstar

The Antarctic Sunstar was one of the most bizarre animals found by biologists. The researchers, on the other hand, gave it a very sinister name. It was nicknamed the Death Star, and we can understand why. Labidiaster annulatus is the scientific name for the animal. It is a near cousin of the common starfish, however, it is a much stranger species.

The Death Star, for example, may have up to 50 arms! It may even grow to the size of a hubcap. The skin of the arms is coated in tiny pincers that lock shut when anything touches them. Most of the time, the unlucky victim is a passing krill. This isn’t the only odd thing about the Sunstar!
