Legendary GIANT shipworms found in the Philippines. 😲

in #philippines7 years ago

It's legendary and it's big!! And worst of all, it's a worm!! 😲

Well, not exactly a worm but a "Bivalve", related to clams and mussels. Which I sometimes eat. 🍲🍽

So far five (5) live shipworms have been discovered in Mindanao, Philippines. And, it can grow to five feet tall. It's even taller than me.😲

Good news, they only feed on bacteria, not humans.

Like any other underwater creatures, they can live without sunlight. I hope upon future discoveries these alien creatures will be beneficial to the human race.

Here some link below, there's a video attached to the website. Check it out. It's pretty interesting to me since I used to collect worms in my garden.
