Drop The Hammer 📽 by @forestpostcards Hammerhead worm hunts a slug If you can’t tell which of these animals is the hammerhead worm, it’s the one with the head that resembles a half moon or shovel. Come to think of it, shovelhead worm sounds even cooler, and if the hammerhead shark didn’t already exist, it may have been named the shovelhead worm – but we will never know now will we. Anyway, they don’t have eyes… I mean, that’s not technically true but they can’t see images, they are more for detecting light. The certainly don’t use them to hunt, they would starve, no instead they use that flat part of their head like a nose/tongue combo, tasting and smelling their surroundings by sweeping their heads back and forth until they pickup on something, like the slime trail left behind by this slug All that’s left to do is follow the trail until it reaches the slug who left it and attach itself so it can’t get away. The mouth of the worm is located on its midsection, not on its head – It sits in the middle of the worm’s belly. Once attached, the mouth secretes digestive enzymes that begin digesting the the slug, and the worm feeds by ingesting the liquified slug, until only the worm remains
