There is a mysterious creature that lives on the Philippine island of Mindanao, the giant ship maggot Kuphus polythalamia, which is inserted in the island's sulphide-filled silt, which is probably the longest bivalve animal ever found, a meter long!
But this is not the most critical, this guy can actually live without eating, only relying on the decomposition and absorption of hydrogen sulfide in the body, this model is similar to that of deep-sea organisms. While it's unclear whether they absorb these bacteria directly or the excrement of the bacteria, giant ship maggots can indeed achieve the feat of "surviving without eating external objects"! (True Buddha-nature!) )
Of course, although it does not eat, but the local people in the Philippines eat it, I heard that it is a delicious snack (hydrogen sulfide is not the taste of rotten eggs, delicious?). )
