Starfish 8 feet

The world's first 8-foot starfish was discovered on a British coast.

Normal starfish have only 5 legs. But the Daily Mail said Stan - the name of a starfish found by a fisherman on Cornwall's coast in England - last week - was more than three feet tall.

Scientists say that starfish have the ability to regenerate limbs. In many cases two new limbs appear to replace a lost limb. So people have seen starfish 6 chi. But after Stan tested, the experts claimed it had eight genera from birth.

Starfish has a disk-shaped part in the center that acts as the center of the body control. Their mouths, stomachs, water regulation systems and their important internal organs are all located on that part. Stan has two such disks.

Douglas Herdson, an expert on marine animals in Plymouth, said Stan could be two twin sea stars with eggs.

"After fertilization, the two fetuses in the egg do not fully separate. Despite having two bodies, Stan still lives normally. I have never heard of such a phenomenon," Herdson said.

With a diameter of 25 cm, Stan is bigger than the same starfish. Its health is quite good. In fact, its limbs can provide an advantage in feeding activities, because they make it easier for them to grasp the shells of boys.

The strange starfish was taken to Blue Reef Marine Park, Newquay, England. It quickly became the focus of the guests' attention.

Daily Mail said, Stan is a starfish star. This species has many rows of onion-shaped spines on the limbs. Starfish starfish are omnivorous. They eat fish, molluscs, shrimp, crabs, shellfish (shellfish, mussels, mussels) and even other starfish species. When encountering large prey, sea star thorns push the stomach out of the mouth to swallow up all the food.
