Photo by Jie Yang/Artwork by Javier Ortega-Hernández Worms today look so wimpy. How do they survive in this world? They don't have appendages to pick up blunt objects and they don't even have the strength to put up a good fight. At least if they had an Adamantium core or some kind of super armor, their survival wouldn't be such a mystery to most people. At least their distant cousins looked like beasts that could fight back -- like this 500 million-year-old worm recently discovered in South China that looks like the modern worm's badass biker cousin. Scientists from the University of Cambridge in England and Yunnan University in China [ announced last Tuesday] the discovery of a worm-like creature in the Xiaoshiba deposit.

"Both creatures are lobopodians, or legged worms, but the Collins' Monster sort of looks like Hallucigenia on steroids," said [ Javier Ortega-Hernández], a research fellow from the University of Cambridge's Earth Sciences department.
