Zombie worms were discovered in 2002 when extracted from the rotting skeleton of a grey whale almost 10,000 feet beneath the ocean. Also called “boneworms,” the mouth-and-anus-less Osedax worms use bone-melting acid to absorb nutrients directly. Also, they’re all female. The males are microscopic and live inside the females’ bodies.
