Bobbit worms explode out of tunnels on the ocean floor to ambush prey.
According to a new study, these worms had 6-foot-long carnivorous ancestors that burrowed under the Pacific Ocean.
Researchers found 20-million-year-old tunnels made by these prehistoric worms in Taiwan.
Scientists in Taiwan noticed odd, L-shaped burrows in a set of rocks eight years ago. Since the rocks once sat on the Pacific Ocean floor, they thought the tunnels had been made by shrimp, or perhaps octopuses. But the shape and structure of the burrows didn t match those made by such creatures, and the mystery lingered.

Three inmates at Christchurch Women s Prison were hospitalised after eating worms, licking spiders and consuming the hallucinogenic plant datura, which they found growing on prison grounds.
Two of the women were so ill they had to be kept in hospital overnight, and the Department of Corrections is investigating how the hallucinogen, a tall shrub that also grows as a weed, came to be growing at the prison.
