Panamic Sea Star

If you could have any superhero power what would it be? Most sea stars have their own superpower – the ability to regenerate their arms. These beautiful sea stars also have predators. When a sea star loses an arm to a predator, it has the ability to regrow the arm that they lost. Keep in mind that although this seems like a superpower, it costs the sea star a lot of energy to regrow their arm.
