Benthic Santas (BS) xkcd.com/2872/ evolved carrying 'presents' to avoid being consumed by hydrothermal vents....

Deep sea bio-scientists think this may have evolved from BS carrying prey remnants discovering that presenting that body to the digestion face allowed the BS time to escape. Wrapping the remnants in seaweed or adding bits of bone allowed BS to remain in vents even longer.
