    Immortal? Sheesh, a creature straight out of a horror story.

    OT: since we're on a topic on strange animals, here's a bizzare life form in a North Carolina Sewer

    That looks scary. They should kill it so they can study what it is and how it formed.

    Bilogically Immortal!

    "We are looking at a worldwide silent invasion" said Smithsonian Tropical Marine Institute scientist Dr. Maria Miglietta
    It is an evolution indeed.

    Raleigh ’sewer creature’ surprises city officials

    RALEIGH – Public utility officials have solved the mystery behind a purported "sewer creature" seen in an online video taken under Cameron Village in Raleigh.

    Local bloggers at New Raleigh picked up on the YouTube video after it was posted on the Gawker science fiction blog io9.com. The video shows a sewer camera inspecting a pipe under Cameron Village on April 27. The camera stops to focus on several pulsing sacs clinging to the crevices in the pipe.

    Ed Buchan, environmental coordinator at the Raleigh Public Utilities Department, said staff biologists have confirmed that the “creature” is actually a colony of tubifex worms. The colonies attach themselves to roots that gradually work themselves into weak points in the pipes.

    “They seem to respond to the light from the camera,” Buchan said. “That light is pretty hot.”

    The worms naturally occur in sewage and pond sediment and are actually sold both live and dried as fish food in pet stores.
    But N.C. State University biology professor Tom Kwak said it may not be a group of worms.

    "I think it's a colony of bryozoans," Kwak said. "They are small animals like a hydra that live together in colonies, and they stick out tentacles to feed. And when they're disturbed, they withdraw into small tubes that they built."

    Kwak said the bryozoans aren't dirty and don't carry diseases, and they don't bite or sting.

    "There's really no reason to clear them out unless they become an issue of clogging the sewer pipe," he said.
