Detailed explanation-1: -This process is called evisceration. It’s mostly thought to be a defense mechanism, though there’s some evidence that sea cucumbers also do it just because-a few species just eviscerate annually. That might be because they eat a lot of nonsense and need to expel their guts to clean them.
Detailed explanation-2: -Defensive Adaptations When threatened, some sea cucumbers discharge sticky threads to ensnare their enemies. Others can mutilate their own bodies as a defense mechanism. They violently contract their muscles and jettison some of their internal organs out of their anus.
Detailed explanation-3: -Evisceration is a method of autotomy involving the ejection of internal organs used by animals as a defensive strategy. Sea cucumbers (Holothuroidea) eject parts of the gut in order to scare and defend against potential predators such as crabs and fish.
Detailed explanation-4: -To protect themselves against predators and pathogens alike, sea cucumbers produce defensive toxins called saponins, as do their close cousins, starfish.
Detailed explanation-5: -Some species will shoot their intestines, along with some other organs, through their head, while others will shoot them out of their cloaca (which is essentially their butt.)
