<h1>Mal worms</h1>
Age: 400-500 million years ago in the Middle Cambrian Period
Region: Canada

Only 2 cm long, the Mal worm lives on the cold seabed, more than 400-500 million years ago, this small, shrimp-like Mal worm on the seabed toiled and ran, swimming while trying to move up to 50 feathers to find animal carcasses for food. Maltaceae appeared during the Cambrian Explosion of Life, and in that short period of time, nature evolved a staggering number of new species.
The head of the Maltese is protected by a large shield-like hard shell, which may be colorful with 4 "long spikes" that extend backwards. Underneath the shield shell is its soft and dexterous body. Scientists believe that the torso of Maldocus is made up of 25 segments, each of which grows a pair of pinnates, which are also the gills it uses to breathe underwater. Its head is covered with two pairs of slender, flexible antennae. Maltella was one of the earliest arthropods. Living arthropods include insects, spiders, and other animals with exoskeletons.
