Dintlha
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
The bootlace worm is one of the longest known animals, and individuals have been recorded at up to 30 metres.1
Its mucus kills crabs and cockroaches in tests, and it could be used as an agricultural insecticide.1
Its body is very flexible and can stretch far beyond its usual length.1
Mosenyi wa ditlhamane
Tlhamane: The bootlace worm regularly grows to over 55 metres long.
Nnete: 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
