This Strange Worm’s Mouth Is Also Its Anus | National Geographic

Danish Ho recently filmed this strange-looking animal in Malaysia that is commonly known as a hammerhead worm. According to experts, it belongs to the genus Bipalum,but its exact species is unknown. The biology of a hammerhead worm is also very strange. Its mouth is also its anus. If separated, a piece of its body can grow into another worm. And the worm liquefies prey, which it then sucks through its mouth, excreting waste from the same opening later.
