Sea Star Drops An Arm

The sea star is terrified.
Chase is on.
He drops the beast an arm.
Knowing it will regrow.
Saving his life one more time
At the expense of one arm.

Hmmm...I'm not familiar with a sea star. A starfish? Now, you have me wondering.

They call them sea stars now - and yes, they do drop an arm for a predator so they can escape because they can regrow it.
