Scientists have discovered that the Japanese eyed worm has a bizarre life cycle. When it’s time to reproduce, the worm’s butt breaks off and swims away to find a mate. The detached butt, called a stolon, has eyes and swimming equipment, so it can survive on its own. The worm’s body just sits there, waiting for its butt to come back with some new friends. Scientists are still trying to figure out how this works, but it’s a pretty amazing story.
