Bat stars like these photographed at @theomahazoo can be found resting on rocks, sand bottoms and among surf grass along the Pacific coast from Alaska all the way down to Mexico. They come in a wide variety of colors and patterns, all of which have five short, webbed arms that give them the appearance of bat wings. Though they may seem docile, when two of these sea stars cross paths, a slow-motion brawl will occur. They fight by gently pushing and placing their arms on top of the one another. If one of them is turned upside down, they use their tube feet to slowly, gracefully somersault back onto their ventral side. As a defense against predators, bat stars are capable of releasing a potent chemical which incites quick escape responses in other animals.
