The scientist of San Diego, California recently had discovered seven new species of worms. They found them in the Pacific Ocean in the depth of the Pacific Ocean of California. These worms are called swimming annelid worms. They live in 5,900 feet below the sea. The scientists of California gave at this worm a nickname Green bomber because he has his own way to defend himself. When a predator wants to attack him he releases a green glowing bomb. This helps him to escape from the enemy. This green glowing bomb affects the enemy making him blind for a moment so the worm has time to escape.
My opinion on this is that I think that this animal was lucky to have this ability to make animals blind. It explains a lot of what can do this worm and it makes me understand how much intelligent is this worm. I think he is smart. I know that there is another animal in the sea, a fish that is a ball. When a predator comes he puts out his thorns and the enemy runs away.
Nice Job! I also really liked this article, I thought it was interesting how you compared the worm to the puffer fish, because they both have their own unique means of protecting themselves.
