Live, long and black giant shipworm found in Philippines

Scientists have found live specimens of the rare giant shipworm for the ďŹ rst time, in the Philippines.

Details of the creature, which can reach up to 1.55m (5ft) in length and 6cm (2.3in) in diameter, were published in a US science journal.

The giant shipworm spends its life encased in a hard shell, submerged head-down in mud, which it feeds on.
