"Sand strikers, also known as bobbit worms, can reach lengths of up to 10 feet. They have razor-sharp jaws that they use to catch unsuspecting fish and can split into several pieces to regenerate."
How the Bobbit Worm Conquers Its Prey.
"During the day, the bobbit worm buries its long body in the seabed and waits with its extended antennae to attract prey. Although this bird has no vision, its five antennae use light receptors and chemicals to detect prey around it."
"At night, bobbit worms become bolder and more active in hunting. Some of them emerge from their burrows to attack passing prey. In addition to their frightening boldness, bobbit worms can also use venom to subdue or even kill their prey. The presence of this venom allows sand attacking birds to prey on and digest animals larger than themselves."
"As a predator, this bobbit worm will slowly prey on the fish it has caught, remaining undetected for years thanks to its amazing hiding ability."
"Not only that, if threatened or attacked, sand attackers can break themselves into small fragments, some of which can survive and start to grow back."
There is a common misconception that sand attackers have no brains, but in reality, they do have brains. Although their brains are very different from human brains, bobbit worms are equipped with cerebral ganglia, which are a group of cells in their autonomic nervous system.
