“You’ll NEVER Look at Worms the Same Again!”

🌊 Marine Worm Fun Facts ✪Some worms glow in the dark! Certain marine worms like the Tomopteris can produce bioluminescence, flashing bright light to confuse predators—or maybe to impress a date. ✪They live in boiling water and freezing cold! Marine worms like Riftia pachyptila thrive near hydrothermal vents where temperatures can reach over 300°C. And others chill in icy polar waters. Literal extremes. ✪Worm with jaws? Yes, and they're deadly. The Bobbit worm hides in the sand and ambushes prey with lightning-fast jaws. It’s named after a rather infamous story… let’s just say it snips. ✪They can be longer than a bus. The bootlace worm can grow up to 55 meters long—longer than a blue whale! It’s thin, slimy, and shoots out toxic mucus. Fun. ✪They wear armor made of iron! The scaly-foot gastropod, which hosts symbiotic worms, has iron sulfide scales—basically, metal armor. Marvel fans, meet the real Iron Man. ✪They eat through their skin. Some deep-sea worms like Osedax (also called bone-eating worms) feast on whale bones using root-like structures. And they absorb nutrients right through their skin—no mouth, no gut Like and subscribe for more brain fuel discoveries! https://www.tiktok.com/@dbrainfuel https://www.instagram.com/dbrainfuel/ https://www.youtube.com/@d-brainfuel https://www.facebook.com/people/D-Brain-Fuel/61574529035003/
