It's got no problem with helping itself to its neighbor's stuff.

它在幫助自己獲取鄰居的東西方面沒有任何問題。

Also called sea slugs, they're basically snails, but without the protective shells.

它們也叫海蛞蝓，基本上是蝸牛，但沒有保護殼。

You'd think they'd want to keep a low profile.

Because their colors are actually a warning.

因為它們的顏色實際上是一種警告。

Some of these nudibranchs have found a devious way to defend themselves.

有些裸鰓魚找到了一種狡猾的自衛方法。

Nope, it's actually an animal related to jellyfish.

不，它其實是一種與水母有關的動物。

Hydroids have tentacles they use to catch food floating by, they're covered in stingers that pack an excruciating, paralyzing venom.

水螅有觸手，用來捕捉漂浮在水面上的食物，它們渾身長滿毒刺，毒液能使人麻痺，令人痛苦不堪。

They have the same type of potent weaponry that make jellyfish so dangerous.

它們擁有讓水母如此危險的強大武器。

Shooting out tiny harpoons full of venom.

Which is why most creatures want nothing to do with them.

這就是為什麼大多數生物都不想與它們有任何關係。

But nudibranchs are all about it, they devour hydroids.

但海蛞蝓就喜歡這樣，它們會吞食水螅。

Lots of those nematocysts fire off in the nudibranch's mouth.

大量的線蟲囊在裸鰓動物的口腔中爆炸。

But it's unfazed, they seem to have a taste for spicy food.

但它毫不畏懼，似乎對辛辣食物情有獨鍾。

Here's the thing though, some of those nematocysts don't detonate right away, they aren't mature enough yet.

但問題是，有些線蟲囊不會立即爆炸，它們還不夠成熟。

And that's the key to the nudibranch scheme.

這就是海蛞蝓計劃的關鍵所在。

It swallows the immature stingers whole, and they travel through the nudibranch's crazy looking digestive tract, which extends into the spikes on its back, called cerata.

它將未成熟的毒刺整個吞下，然後通過裸鰓看起來很瘋狂的消化道，消化道延伸到裸鰓背上的尖刺（稱為 Cerata）。

It's part of the digestive system that connects to the gut.

它是消化系統的一部分，與腸道相連。

The stingers are collected at the very tip, where they mature.

毒刺被收集到最頂端，在那裡成熟。

That's when this colorful little kleptomaniac pulls out the big guns.

這時，這個色彩斑斕的小盜竊狂就會使出殺手鐗。

It points its bristling cerata at its attacker.

它用長滿剛毛的尖嘴指向攻擊者。

Squirts out the stolen nematocysts and they explode, launching their venomous harpoons.

噴出偷來的線蟲，它們就會爆炸，發射出毒液魚叉。

That's enough to repel just about anyone looking for a quick bite.

這足以擊退任何想吃快餐的人。

This goes to show, if you're not born with certain assets, it doesn't hurt to borrow them.

這說明，如果你天生沒有某些資產，借來也無妨。

Hey, it's Lauren, I'm back, and I missed you.

嘿，我是勞倫，我回來了，我很想你。
