ah, Hallucigenia! the “walking worm” that might be related to our modern velvet worm! it was indeed, SUPER WEIRD.
but you know what? there are plenty of animals in the ocean today that are at LEAST as weird, if not weirder. check it out!
the Feather Star (yes, it SWIMS)
the Sea Pig
Phylliroe, the sea slug that thinks it’s a FISH
Melibe, a whole GENUS of sea slugs with nightmarish balloon mouths
and who could forget the noble Squidworm, which is a real actual living creature alive right now?
life has always been weird. life is still weird. enjoy it!
update: I’d like also forcibly introduce you to
the FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER
ELBOW SQUID
(second picture just to LET THIS BULLSHIT ARMS SITUATION SINK IN)
and THE CROWN OF THORNS STARFISH
thanks for your time.
Absolutely incredible. the ocean is like a treasure box that gives wonder, horror, and bewilderment in equal measure. Elbow Squid needs to chill
