- Giant predatory worms are invading France.
- The worms are part of a group of species called hammerhead flatworms, which originate in tropical Asia.
- The worms have gone largely unnoticed for close to two decades, according to scientists.
When an amateur naturalist kept digging up strange, flat-headed worms in his garden outside of Paris, he knew something was amiss.
The naturalist, Pierre Gros, emailed a picture to Jean-Lou Justine, a zoologist at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris. Justine thought it was a fake, but Gros persisted and kept sending in more images of the huge worms. See the rest of the story at Business Insider
