This clip shows the blowing ability of the mysterious brown cucumber. It can really put out a real force of water. But why the need for such a forceful spurt? The cucumber's skin is seen close up!...It's covered in hairs! or hair-like structures.

The clip does not show off the mouth sections well but you can get an idea as to how it goes about looking for food and sucking it up. Much like a vacuum cleaner. The exhaust is thrown out the back.

In all of my 10 minutes with this cucumber, it hardly moved at all. I've seen snails move faster!
