Can I interest you in a pigbutt worm?
A post from National Geographic showing images of a worm that looks like a pig butt. The text says: In 2001, a remotely operated submersible operated by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) photographed a small, never-before-seen creature in the ocean's lightless Midnight Zone-a translucent, bioluminescent worm resembling a pig's butt. Over 20 years later, scientists are still unraveling the mysteries of this strange creature. Learn more about the pigbutt worm: https://on.natgeo.com/3Xuao6H 1/3: A rounded, semi-translucent, bilaterally symmetrical sea worm from behind, where concentric ovals give the appearance of a pig's butt. 2/3: In this view, the worm shows its mouth, which typically faces downward as the animal drifts 3,300 feet below the ocean surface. 3/3: A pigbutt worm observed by MBARI's remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Doc Ricketts in the outer Monterey Canyon.

I don’t think the Pigbutt worm looks like a pig butt but I admit I do not spend a lot of time around pig butts.

Until we discover a creature in a 🌮 shape, I suggest this pigbutt worm be named after trump.

Nearly a kilometer beneath the sea, a one-of-a-kind creature drifts: the pigbutt worm (Chaetopterus pugaporcinus), a small bioluminescent polychaete discovered in 2001. Its peculiar shape and unique way of life have left scientists puzzled.

Picture shows a pigbutt worm. It looks like a bubble gum bubble that looks like a double bubble. It has a pink figure inside. The mouth of the pigbutt worm. It looks like a bum poking out of a bubble gum bubble. A pigbutt worm floats in the deep dark ocean.
