Cool bobbit worm, though the extant species gets to 10 feet. It's super boss that they named it after Cannibal Corpse.

Not gonna lie, I at first thought this was going to be a fake article on Graboids.

That creature is nearly as long as I am tall! Sounds a little like something out of Peter Jackson's King Kong. Thanks for sharing!

I do like a good giant worm on a Thursday.

Not gonna lie, I at first thought this was going to be a fake article on Graboids.

I recently discussed the science of Tremors at a local arthouse movie theater, and someone asked me what kind of creature a graboid might be related to. Eunicid worms are the obvious answer, but I didn't think of it in the moment and now I am kicking myself.

For me giant worms are the last thing I think of when prehistory comes to mind, cool discovery.

Woah, that worm is on steroids!

I'd like to see some paleoart of a bristle worm seizing a baby sea reptile

Wow that Bobbit Worm is quite an unusual creature, fascinating!

Named after Cannibal Corpse.  Now that is super cool!
