4.Give few laps to the egg curdling to our taste, garnish with chives and serve immediately.

FACTOID ANIMAL LIFE

• Some species of sea urchins can live for over a hundred years.
• The body part that is eaten (the gonads) contains only 0.3 grams of fat per kilo.
• Despite their spines, are devoured with pleasure by some birds, crabs and seals.
• If we nailed a spine of a sea urchin, it is convenient to remove the tide wait, as incredible as it may seem, the spine should rise as well.
• The mouth opens into the underside of the animal: the jaw has a number of teeth, fine and very strong. The masticatory apparatus known as Aristotle's lantern.
• These animals without eyes can see or at least light distinguished through their legs. Gary Wessel, Brown University and member of the Genome Sequencing Consortium sea urchin, said that "31 years I've been looking at these bodies and now know that I was watching."
• The raw animal's appearance is this:
