The bootlace worm is a ribbon worm that can be one of the longest animals known, with typical specimens measuring 5 to 15 metres. It lives along the coasts of northern Europe, including Britain, Norway and Denmark. Its thick, toxic mucus is its main defence.1

Hono anndirtee ngal

  • The body is brown with lighter stripes running along its length.1

Tooke nder nguru mum

Nguru mum ko tooke. No musiiba meemugol ngal, meemugol ngal e ɗemngal walla ñaamugol ngal.

Ko honɗun tooke ɓanndu mum waɗata?

The bootlace worm does not bite or sting, so it is poisonous rather than venomous. Its mucus contains a relatively strong neurotoxin, which attacks the nerves. The mucus is highly toxic, but tests showed low toxicity in human cells.1

Hono musiiba mum heewiri e yimɓe?

Musiiba e yimɓe: SeeɗaNo jukkugol ñaaki walla ko ɓuri famɗugol. Ko ɓadii alaa musiiba e yimɓe.

No human injuries or deaths from this worm are known. Its mucus is highly toxic, so it is best not to touch it.1

Ko honɗun ngal waɗata si ngal hulii?

When handled, it releases large amounts of thick, toxic mucus, which it uses to deter predators.1

Humpito

1

In 1864, a specimen more than 55 metres long washed ashore after a severe storm near St Andrews, Scotland. It was longer than the lion's mane jellyfish.1

2

The bootlace worm is one of the longest known animals, and individuals have been recorded at up to 30 metres.1

3

Its mucus kills crabs and cockroaches in tests, and it could be used as an agricultural insecticide.1

4

Its body is very flexible and can stretch far beyond its usual length.1

Bonnoowo fenaandeeji

Fenaande: The bootlace worm regularly grows to over 55 metres long.

Goonga: Reports of worms over 55 metres may be animals that were stretched. Ribbon worm bodies are flexible, so measurements should be treated with caution. Individuals are known to reach up to 30 metres.1
