WEBVTT 1 00:00:09.003 --> 00:00:14.903 This is an enteropneust worm. It's also called an acorn worm. In 2 00:00:14.903 --> 00:00:19.663 polite company, the Norwegians call this the spiral poop worm. 3 00:00:19.663 --> 00:00:24.223 The genus name is Yoda. The full name is Yoda purpurata and 4 00:00:24.223 --> 00:00:28.883 yes, it was named after the Star Wars character Yoda. I 5 00:00:28.883 --> 00:00:33.323 assume that the name Yoda comes from those large wings that are 6 00:00:33.323 --> 00:00:36.563 sticking off the side of the head that look like the ears of 7 00:00:36.563 --> 00:00:40.603 Yoda. I don't remember Yoda ever being that purple. No, I 8 00:00:40.603 --> 00:00:43.483 thought it was maybe like it's it's ability and power with the 9 00:00:43.483 --> 00:00:48.043 force though. I haven't seen that either but the beige color 10 00:00:48.043 --> 00:00:50.643 you're seeing inside there, that's its intestine and it's 11 00:00:50.643 --> 00:00:54.003 just packed with sediments and it's processing whatever 12 00:00:54.003 --> 00:00:58.163 organics are in that sediment. Is that poop? Yep, that's poop. 13 00:00:58.163 --> 00:01:00.843 That's a fecal trail and there's actually been some 14 00:01:00.843 --> 00:01:03.163 interesting studies where you can look at the microbiology of 15 00:01:03.163 --> 00:01:06.523 the sediments before an after they pass through the gut. 16 00:01:06.523 --> 00:01:11.483 Deep ocean we will see. Sediments we will eat. Fecal strings we 17 00:01:11.483 --> 00:01:16.963 will make. May the force be with that worm.
