Of course, you protect yourself as your worm ancestors always did, burying yourself in the sand, building a strong tube for shelter. Then you go cheerfully up to find your next tasty mouthful of debris.
Sometimes, though, a worm discovers a strategy that makes things a lot more interesting. This little genius, for example. (I think he's planning to become a conductor of an orchestra.)
(As usual, YouTube embedding doesn't seem to handle the sound properly, at least for the first day. Now I find that I have to click the "Full Screen" button to start it. I can come back to here immediately afterwards, and it's fine.
And get rid of the ad; it hides a couple of captions.)
That was a great video! Must be a retired worm - traveling the countryside in it's own mobile home. A busy fellow.
ReplyDeleteThe way his 'arms' flail around reminds me of those strange stick-men advertising things that they use a wind machine to keep dancing in the parking lots of stores having sales. :)
ReplyDeleteawesome! That's super cute, and I think living in the wake of a busy, munching hermit crab would increase the amount of errant bits of food floating past. So cool! =)
ReplyDeleteVery interesting video! Thanks for posting.
ReplyDelete"... retired worm ..." I like that!
ReplyDeleteThose advertising windbag thingies; that's exactly what it's like. Maybe it's powered on the same principle. Water currents, though, instead of air.
Very nice video. Susannah, you did a great job at editing along with the pick of music. That takes talent.
ReplyDeleteI loved it, Susannah! I loved the music you chose to go with him, and he certainly seemed not to mind ... in fact I think he was dancing in time!!!
