stuny Posted October 12, 2018 Share #2 Posted October 12, 2018 Lovely. Many sea creatures are strangely named. I'd chalk it up to that, though the less common "sea star" is probably better. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts? X2 Around the Oregon coast I've heard them more often called sea stars, which would seem more appropriate. Perhaps some people call them starfish because they taste like tuna. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea stars, commonly called, "starfish," are not fish. There are approximately 2,000 species of sea star, all of which live in marine waters. Sea stars live underwater, but that is where their resemblance to fish ends. They do not have gills, scales, or fins.

fotografr Posted October 14, 2018 Share #5 Posted October 14, 2018 Then why do they taste like tuna?🤔 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrewer Posted October 14, 2018 Share #6 Posted October 14, 2018 Some animals needed a canoe to cross the ocean. Whale had one but refused to lend it, so Starfish kept him busy, telling him stories and grooming him to remove parasites, while the others stole the canoe. When Whale realized the trick he beat Starfish ragged, which is how Starfish still is today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
