"The scale worms have been believed to be descendants of a different species that INVADED the deep-sea millions of years ago."

Is there some worm-based geopolitical lore I'm missing??

Oh funny, in the wiki article it mentions black coral to be megafauna. Never thought of corals as megafauna, fascinating!

[-] perishthethought@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago

And TIL the word megafauna so thanks!

Superorganism is a great term that kinda applies as well.

[-] perishthethought@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

[-] nintendiator@feddit.cl 2 points 5 months ago

It's the kind that drives Conservation Efforts and Media Attention. So yeah, I guess they tend to be colorful.
