Very cool! I read in Science News that urchins can see with their entire body. Scientists are also researching urchins' aging characteristics.

Greetings from winthrop. We finished day 1 of a 4 day kiking trip. We did grasshopper pass on the pct. Fantastic hiking!

Next time you find one of those big basketball sized red urchins, take your finger and wiggle one of the quills. All of the other quills should move towards your hand. Pretty wild thing to watch
