These sea creatures, the Pyura chilensis, start life as tiny tadpoles as larvae. They also have everything little tadpoles have - including a brain. They need this above all in order to find a suitable place for their further development. It should be a rock in the sea on which they can settle and which they will never leave again and in the vicinity of which there is enough plankton for their nutrition. Once they have found their future home, they begin to reject their brains and - after all, they are hungry - to finish eating. The adult hermaphroditic organisms no longer need this body part for food intake and reproduction.
The meat of the piure has a spicy, very intense taste and is often used in Chilean cuisine. Arroz con piure picado (rice with chopped piure) is available in many seafood restaurants. The inhabitants of the cliffs of Chile often at risk of death, equipped with wetsuits and diving goggles, gather piure in the dangerous surf of the Pacific Ocean. Piure can be eaten raw or cooked and is high in iodine, vanadium and iron. The following video is from 2011, here a group of German tourists finds Piure beach and cut it open to see what the inside looks like ...

More for you:
"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
