Default Weird find in sewer
If you are easily grossed out maybe avoid this one, its freaky.

Found during sewer inspection in N. Carolina.




A likely explanation for what this is:

Thanks for the video – I had not see it before. No, these are not bryozoans! They are clumps of annelid worms, almost certainly tubificids (Naididae, probably genus Tubifex). Normally these occur in soil and sediment, especially at the bottom and edges of polluted streams. In the photo they have apparently entered a pipeline somehow, and in the absence of soil they are coiling around each other. The contractions you see are the result of a single worm contracting and then stimulating all the others to do the same almost simultaneously, so it looks like a single big muscle contracting. Interesting video.

Good god, I used to have to go down sewers for my horrendously bad job, if I saw that thing I may have required intensive mental treatment.

Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

I don't think I'll be venturing into the sewer any time soon.

That thing doesn't even remotely look like a Ninja Turtle. Is nothing from TV or movies based on reality?
