The 'giant' creature that hid in the woods made everyone terrified

It's a mysterious "monster" - dissecting the super-mysterious creature hiding in this water-soaked wood.

Looking at this picture, one of us feels panicked. Dare to fish that 10 people look, then 11 people have to say "Mommy, what is this".

This is the result after a tonic man along the trunk soaked in swamp for years.

.
.and when zooming into the trunk surface . What "monster" is that ???

Many people will wonder if any bizarre creature resides in a tree so that when it comes to replanting the tree, it will "play out" like that.

Yes, the main answer is the wood-chiseled species (scientific name: Teredo Navalis).

Ha is chiseled with wood.

Teredo navalis is a woody soft-bodied species - a super-mysterious monster and a wanderer around the world.

Originating in the North East Atlantic Ocean, but they have crept and traveled many places on the globe. Many people believe that they are passengers who are stowaway - hiding in their hulls and traveling around the world for centuries.

The reason they set foot and lived in many places is because Teredo navalis has a very good adaptability - can live in warm tropical water; in the cold North Sea or Mediterranean saline water as well as brackish water of the Baltic Sea.

Teredo navalis has excellent adaptability.

Despite the worm-like appearance, this species belongs to the bivalve of mollusks. The body of Teredo Navalis is mostly small, about 2cm long, milky color; but there are individuals up to 60 cm long with a trunk diameter of up to 1cm and more.

Some individuals are covered in a light brown layer with rough rough lines that are easily "invisible" in their environment.

The head of the wood chisel has two curved pieces that protrude and are composed of hard calcium coated.

The most distinctive feature of Teredo is its head - almost round, with two curved pieces protruding and made of hard lime material, rough surface to cut wood, between 2 pieces of curved lime are round and flat mouths.

There are two tubes on the tail and these two tubes may protrude. The big tube on the outside flared out, the baby tube on the outside of the baby, the big tube sucked the water and the organisms in the water, the small tube discharged the stool so people also called these two tubes of siphons. Outside two siphon tubes have two calcium armor.

There are two tubes on the tail and these two tubes may protrude.

Saying Teredo is an obnoxious troublemaker is not wrong when they enter the wood from a very young age, leaving only a small pin-like hole. From this hole, they will make use of their 2 siphon tubes to connect the life in the wood and the outside environment.

In the process of growth and development, wood nymphs always secrete a wood-softening fluid, a calcium-based fluid when dried together around a white cloudy cavern. It is this lime layer that protects them from being harmed by seawater.

Where the head of the tree was chewed, the longer the body came out.

And then you know what the head of the wood is, the longer the body comes out. Each individual perforated a separate cave in the wood, but the chisel of this individual does not penetrate the wooden cave, when the wood is no longer available, then the food runs out and then lives there.

It is known that wood chisel is a bisexual species , going through the male and female periods respectively. Male individuals will release sperm into the sea, the female will swim to areas with sperm and do her job when sucking sperm into the body via a siphon tube.

Each batch, Teredo will produce 50,000 to 1 million eggs!

Here, the eggs will be fertilized and waiting "to ship". Can you believe it, Teredo will produce 50,000 to 1 million eggs each batch ? Their eggs float in the sea and then cling to the wooden ships, wooden boats and develop.

For fishermen owning wooden boats, Teredo is a pest capable of destroying horrors.

In some records, in the Baltic Sea, Teredo individuals can turn a submerged ordinary pine tree into an "item" of countless tunnels for 16 weeks. The time when a 30cm diameter oak tree was deformed was within 32 weeks, and almost completely disappeared within 1 year.

Just a few weeks, a big tree becomes "deformed" like this!

That is enough to know how terrifyingly destructive Teredo individuals are. However, many people believe that, due to living in a tree, Teredo has a high nutritional value. And it is processed by many local people like Thailand and considered a specialty.
