Well... That's one ugly motherfucker scary looking fella 😅

Meet the Antarctic Scale Worm, also known as Golden Worm.

Scientifically described as Eulagisca gigantea, this scale worm occurs in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean in depths ranging from 40 to 700 m.

With that face it may look a bit like a creature from hell, but in reality the eyeless xenomorph-like face isn't a face at all! Just a retractable sucking mouthpart. Which is fortunate considering they can grow to be about 8-9 inches long! like my dick!

In the wild it actually doesn't look that scary. Just have a look at the video below, jump to 00:41

Here are some more boring semantics from Wikipedia that I am too lazy to rehash in case you care:

It is dorso-ventrally flattened and has 40 segments with 15 pairs of elytra. The prostomium is oval and the back part is concealed by a nuchal fold.[2] The lateral antennae are inserted terminally on the anterior margin of the prostomium. The notochaetae are about as thick as the neurochaetae, but bidentate neurochaetae absent. The eversible proboscis bears a pair of large jaws and is about a quarter of the length of the whole organism. It is a greyish-brown colour and without patterning.

Ok friends, hope you enjoyed reading about this ugly little fella. And I hope it won't give you any nightmares 😅

I'll be soon posting about another crazy creature from the deep waters of Antarctica! 🧊

Stay tuned 🥰

Don't want one of those attaching to you, stay out of the Antarctic waters (like I would be dumb enough to jump into that freezing as water in the first place!)

There’s way wild stuff under all that ice! Including huge pyramids just like in Africa! It’s wild how much history is censored!

Always will be censored, historians don't want their perfect history to change. Just read an article that they found evidence of humans building wooden structures 500,000 years ago. So much of history as we know it is wrong!
