The Bobbit Worm – technically Eunice aphroditois – is an aquatic predatory worm that burrows into the ocean bed where it waits patiently for prey to be dumb enough to wander too close.
Its teeth are so sharp and it attacks so fast it often slices its prey in half as it extends out of its hiding place and attacks.
And that’s not all. This fucking worm “injects [a] narcotizing or killing toxin in their prey animal”. It’s fucking poisonous too. And grows up to 3 meters long.
I am just waiting for some bright researcher to figure out a way of making these grow big enough to displace Shark Week.
