The Otto bug of the Cambrian horde of bizarre creatures

author:An Jian Phoenix Dance

All things are born in the sea, and the Cambrian group is in chaos!

Cambrian seems to me to be a wonderful other-dimensional world, where all the creatures of the world were born! The "Cambrian Life Explosion" gave birth to a large number of strange creatures, and the appearance of its creatures can only be described by the four words "group of demons dancing"! Today I will give you the Otto bug, one of the Cambrian demons.

See if this Otto bug restoration is particularly like a monster in a Hollywood movie!

Otto worms lived in the middle Cambrian period, 508 million years ago, and fossils were found in Canada in North America. The Otto worm is a terrifying worm-like animal about 8 centimeters long and the largest about 15 centimeters, with a mouth full of circles of spiny teeth about a millimeter long, it is able to turn its mouth from the inside out, and in the center of the mouth is a long proboscis with tiny spines and hairs around it for trapping prey.

Fossils of Otto worms

Because its appearance resembles the present-day gill troll, the Otto worm is classified as a gill treader. Otto worms also lived in mud and sand like gill trolling animals today. Otto insects can not only prey on animals such as single-walled snails and small shrimp, but also sometimes cannibalize!
