Killer Carnivorous Sponge
By Mark Flippo
OK, stop laughing! Really stop!
The sponges have tiny prey animals trapped on equally tiny hooks on the sponges’ bodies. Lacking a mouth to chew its prey, the sponge instead relies on specialized cells that travel through its body carrying special enzymes, which slowly break down the prey. After several days, all that remains of the crustacean is an empty shell. The new found sponges’ harsh habitat may partly explain their killer lifestyle. They live near volcanoes and vents..

Even what we call tiny sins can hook us! Leaving us empty and hollow! Don't get impaled on the tiny hooks of sin when you are trying so hard to stay away from big sins!
