What parts of the animal do you think were removed to make bath sponges a marketable product?

The natural sponges we use in our baths are actually animal skeletons. Bath sponges consist of a highly porous network of fibres made from a collagen protein called spongin. The skeletons are obtained by cutting the growing sponges and soaking the cut portions in water until the flesh rots away. The exposed network of spongin fibres is cleaned and bleached. In recent years New Zealand scientists have investigated the possibility of farming a native species of bath sponge, Spongia manipulatus, for commercial production. Sea sponges have been over-harvested from the major sponge-gathering areas around the Mediterranean, Caribbean and Florida coasts, but demand remains high. Pictured here are two New Zealand bath sponge skeletons, bleached and unbleached.

Explanation:

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
