  1. giant northwest shipworm

    A giant northwest shipworm, scientifically known as Bankia setacea, is a type of marine bivalve mollusk that belongs to the family Teredinidae. As the name suggests, this species is known for its large size and is primarily found in the northwest Pacific Ocean. This organism is famous for boring into and feeding on dead wood that falls into the sea, hence the term 'shipworm', as they often drill into the wooden parts of ships. However, they are not worms but mollusks with elongated, worm-like bodies.
