Here is a description of a freaky marine creature for you for the day:
About three feet long and glistening black with a pink, fleshy appendage, it looks like the entrails of an alien from a bad horror film. In fact, it is a giant shipworm.
Discovered in the mud of a shallow lagoon in the Philippines, a living creature of the species has never been described before – even though its existence has been known for more than 200 years thanks to fossils of the baseball bat-sized tubes that encompass the creature.
As is usually the case, though, this creature is not harmful to us – heck, we hardly know anything about it! Be sure to read the original article for all the strange features of the giant shipworm.
