Summary:
- Zombie worms, also known as bone-eating worms or Osedax, are small marine creatures that feed on the bones of dead whales and other large marine animals.
- Scientists are concerned that the population of zombie worms may be declining, as they have not been observed in some areas where they were previously found.
- The decline of zombie worms could have a significant impact on the ocean ecosystem, as they play an important role in the decomposition of whale carcasses and the recycling of nutrients.
