The Bone-Eating Snot Worm Rules

Ooh! This ocean creature DEFINITELY has the grossest name I've ever heard. It really is called the Bone-Eating Snot Worm.
Remember when I wrote about bone-boring worms a while ago? The bone-eating snot worm is one of them! These worms dig into whale bones on the floor of the ocean and then tuck in for a good meal. 

More information and a cool video about the bone-eating snot worm are here at the Natural History Museum. (That's where the photo came from.) Great stuff!
