Shocking footage of the bizarre creature is now going viral on the internet, having racked up hundreds of thousands of viewview
What the viewers saw was a deadly-looking American bloodworm that looked exceptionally large.
The beast, which is usually found in the sea, was put back in water by members of the Monterey Bay Whale Watch group.
One member said: “We found it just hanging out on our dock this morning and we gently scooped it up with some cardboard and carefully put it back in the water.”
Baffled social media users flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts on the weird animal, comparing it to human intestines.
One person joked: “Hey that’s my lower digestive system.”
Another user said: “I’ll never unsee that.”
A third person quipped: “Starting the day off right with some nightmares.”
While a fourth user shared: “I never needed to see that. Looks like intestines with a face.
Other users likened it to aliens, a large intestine colon, and the “stuff of nightmares”.
The stunning deep-sea squid first captured the fascination of researchers when it was recorded cradling giant eggs in 2015 – something they had never seen before.
The carnivorous worms can grow up to 35 cm (14 in) in length.
They feed by extending a large nose that has four hollow jaws, which are connected to glands that supply venom which they use to kill their prey – and their bite is painful even to a human.
Deep sea mystery
They feed by extending a large nose that has four hollow jaws, which are connected to glands that supply venom which they use to kill their prey – and their bite is painful even to a human.
Only a fraction of deep sea creatures are believed to have been discovered.
This has led to millions of marine life being left undiscovered.
