Green Bomber Worms

Green Bomber Worms

The bomber worm was only discovered about 10 years ago, but it's not rare. This deep, deep underwater creature has one of the coolest defense mechanisms we've seen yet: releasing bioluminescent bombs to deter predators. We also talk about two other newly-discovered underwater creature: the ruby sea dragon and hoodwinker sunfish.
