An āAppreciationā Post
This post is mostly a test to see how fast this post can get flagged because of the changes brought under the new Tumblr's guidelines.
These are Echiura, also known as the spoon worm, not something that most people will think when they see them at first glance. Due to the new guidelines, the bots will flag these anyway because they canāt tell what is adult content or not these days.
They are also called the fat innkeeper worm because it is known to dig tunnels where other small marine animals can house themselves in.Ā
I see them often in Korean Fish Markets, usually displayed like this in plastic baskets or buckets submerged in a waterĀ tank. The Koreans call themĀ āGaebul,ā Gae = Dog, Bul = The Male Reproductive Part.Ā š
They are found in mudflats, dug up by the fishermen with shovels in hopes to catch them.Ā
According to some sites, eating spoon worms will help with hypertension prevention, provide a good source of protein, and is rich in iron for anemia prevention.
Thanks for reading, I had fun writing this to test my experiment on how smart these tumblr bots are. With this, Iām going to sign off Tumblr officially and tread onto newer pastures. Also, I wish you all a āhappy holidays!ā c:
