(2) The name comes from a myth that the female worm cuts of the penis of the male after mating and feeds it to the young ones. (9) It is an ambush predator. In a tweet this morning, BBC confirmed that the worm was indeed named after "THAT Bobbitt," meaning Lorena Bobbit, who cut off her husband's penis with a knife while he slept in 1993. (7) It has such sharp teeth and it attacks the prey with such ferocity that the prey is cut in half. Incredibly this predatory worm is known to grow up to 3 m (9.8 ft) in length, making it the worst enemy for many fish and crab species (and making it the scariest worm you will every lay your eyes on), If you are looking to observe one of these worms (or avoid) they can typically be found in the warmer ocean waters surrounding the Indo-Pacific region. The pharynx turns inside out to reveal mandibles which are strong and sharp and help in catching the prey. Therefore, as a result, very little information appears certain about the biology of the species. It consists of the female creating a mucus cocoon for the eggs & keeping it clean or brooding the eggs within her own tube. When I've witnessed a bobbit worm feeding, it was usually on a cardinal fish or a puffer fish. This is one of the most fearsome predators that can be frightening even to look at. They will use these bristles to help them move around (usually at night) but these bristles are also capable of delivering a painful sting. It turns out the bobbit worm has a long family history. I am a digital nomad who enjoys travelling around the globe while inspiring others to leave their comfort zone and improve their life. They have bone hard grappling hooks that grasp hold of prey. Yes, the Bobbit worm is named after THAT Bobbit #BluePlanet2, You have 4 free articles remaining this month, Sign-up to our daily newsletter for more articles like this + access to 5 extra articles.

The Bobbit worm is a blind, brainless ocean worm with an appearance not even a mother could love. They observed injuries or disappearances of the fish, as well as corals cut in half, but they couldn´t find the reason until they began to dismantle the aquarium’s screen and realized that the damage was caused by a bobbit worm, who was nicknamed «Barry».
