PETALING JAYA: A hiker from Johor Baru captured what he thought was a hammerhead snake on video, but the creature turned out to be a huge worm.
Danish Ho was hiking with family in the forest near the capital city when he came across the massive worm with a head like a hammerhead shark.
It was a hammerhead worm (Bipalium), which is the world’s largest flatworm species. He uploaded his video on the social network and it has been viewed more than ten million times.
The hammerhead worm is carnivorous. It traps its prey using the slime it produces. It lies on top of its catch and sucks its bodily juices out by jamming its pharynx into its victim.
