I am a lancelet, a type of cephalochordate found buried in sand in warm, shallow oceans. Humans find me delicious and important for studying vertebrate evolution. I enjoy relaxing in the sand all day with my anterior end exposed, filtering water for food. I have features like a notochord and pharyngeal slits that evolved into characteristics of vertebrates.
