NFT: About the scariest, most alien like creature you could find

montanagiant : 8/16/2014 1:11 pm

Bobbit Worm: Supposedly named after Lorena Bobbit (the lady who cut off her husbands dick ).
Can grow to 10' in length, has toxins on its skin that can cause humans who come in contact with it to be permanently numb with whatever body part touched it. Has the bite strength to chew through Coral and Human bone.

The link below shows it catching a large Lion Fish, taking it underground like some freaking nightmare

How big is the ocean?

mikeygiants : 8/16/2014 3:59 pm : link

While the Earth�s oceans are known as five separate entities, there is really only one ocean. So, how big is it? As of 2013, it takes up 71% of the Earth, houses 99% of the biosphere, and contains some of Earth�s grandest geological features. Scott Gass reminds us of the influence humans have on the ocean and the influence it has on us.

Really interesting TED animation:
