Thread: What is this? (Page 3)

Apparently it's called a Ribbon Worm, and that white, tongue looking thing is it's proboscis, which it uses to attack its prey. Here's a video of it attacking another creature then swallowing it whole.

WHAAAAAAAAAATTTTT!!!!!!

And, No, that's not CGI. From Wikipedia, regarding Feeding and Proboscis:

The proboscis of the class Anopla ("unarmed"[1]) exits from an orifice which is separate from the mouth,[4] coils around the prey and immobilizes it by sticky, toxic secretions.[20] The Anopla can attack as soon as they move into the range of the proboscis.[21] Some Anopla have branched proboscises which Ruppert, Fox and Barnes describe as "a mass of sticky spaghetti".[4] The animal then draws its prey into its mouth.[11]

Nature is awesome! And really, really weird sometimes.
