Many organisms will need to escape from predators or capture prey. The snorvep, for example, can wriggle and pull itself with its tentacles on land, and can swim surprisingly well by flexing its body and using its front tentacles as stabilizers. It spends most of its time wriggling around in mud or swimming in shallow water. It is not a fast moving animal. On earth people have hands, and animals such as racoons have flexible and skillful paws.
Octopi have tentacles, elephants have trunks.
Think about this for a bit. The snorvep has tentacles which it can use to grasp and bend slender pieces of plant material. The tip of the underside of each of the front tentacles has well developed taste and touch sensors for identifying objects. Elizabeth Anne Viau. All rights reserved.
