I will never see starfish the same ever again after having watched this BBC Life video above which shows starfish essentially dissolving a dead seal underwater. The process takes an extended period of time, but even after knowing this, seeing the process happen still gives me goosebumps. [via]

The video isn’t embeddable, so head on over here to watch the video. Oh, and by the way, this video is one of the few so far to make use of YouTube’s true-HD 1080p feature. Just click the HD settings at the bottom right of the video player to select HD.
