CURWOOD: Next time on the show, we travel to the bottom of the oceans to learn about the life that emerges when a whale dies.
STEWART: So I came across zombie worms, which are also known as bone-eating snot flower worms. And one of the most interesting things about them is that the females are about 1 or 2 inches tall – they live on the bones of the whales as they’re decaying, but the males are microscopic, and they live inside the female bodies.
CURWOOD: The weird and wonderful world of whale fall, next time on Living on Earth.
