Mystery green ribbon worm caught on video

June 09, 2015: Wei Cheng Jian, a fisherman in Penghu, Taiwan, captured footage of a long green worm-like animal with a pink protrusion that looks like another worm crawling out of it.

 

According to a Huffington Post report, the creature is believed to be a ribbon worm, or nemertea, which generally lives at sea but has been known to crawl onto land -- possibly just to give people nightmares.

The pink worm-like appendage that appears to have a mind of its own is called a proboscis, which the worm uses to obtain food.

One thing is for certain, this slimy creature is definitely not something you’d want to come across during your travels.
