This little iridescent worm boi is believed to be named after the case where Mrs. Bobbitt chopped off her husbands penis. The reasoning for this is that the bobbit worm is an ambush predator with very sharp pincers that have the ability to cut a fish in half if they get too close. Usually found in coral reefs in the Atlantic. They can even grow up to 3meters long. It is not stroctly a carnivor though, as it will eat algae and decomposing matter that floats into its trap.
Another fun fact about these little nightmares, if you get scatched by their spikes the nerve damage it gives you can be permanent.
Thank you for sharing that, I knew the bristles were toxic but didnt know they could cause permanent damage!
One of my favorite animals to never want to be around ever for any reason
This thing reminds me of the bug that the agents put into Neo’s belly button in the Matrix.
Does it have a root system or just a dead end
Its just a normal long worm that burrows itself in. It can crawl out and change burrow locations too
