Zombie Worms! (Osedax)

Posted in: Uncategorized
  1. These worms have no mouth or intestines
  2. Oxedax were discovered in 2002
  3. There are over 20 different species of osedax
  4. They make the Mediterranean their home
  5. They can dissolve bone

      I chose this article because i found it very interesting that these worms have been around for millions of years messing with data in these fossils. Another thing that i found interesting is that they have no mouth or intestines, dissolving bone by creating a “root” into the bone. Scientist are still discovering different species of this unique worm.      Thank You 😀
