How do sea cucumbers avoid predation?

Sea cucumbers employ several strategies to avoid predation. They can expel their internal organs as a defense mechanism, a process known as evisceration, which distracts predators and allows the sea cucumber to escape. Additionally, their soft, leathery bodies and camouflaged coloration help them blend into the seafloor, making it harder for predators to spot them. Some species also produce toxic chemicals to deter potential threats.
