“Zombie” Worms Mate Inside Whale Bones

In modern pop culture, zombies are everywhere, from TV shows like The Walking Dead to books like World War Z.

But when it comes to the creepy factor, Osedax worms—nicknamed “zombie worms”—beat out even the goriest movies.

A recent study reveals that these faceless, mouthless worms enjoy making sweet, sweet love inside decomposing whale skeletons that have fallen to the bottom of the ocean floor.

Sweet, sweet love mind you.
