And it's not the first time their weird appearance has caused them to show up on AskMe.

If you liked that one you would really be impressed by the gumboot chiton found on the west coast, which is over a foot long and resembles a live meatloaf.

Sounds excellent, and I'll have the mashed potatoes with that, and a caesar salad.

Oh, and a root beer, thanks.

Thanks everyone!
