my first thought was "well he doesn't even look remotely Italian"

For any curious, the mother actually develops an extra layer of fatty skin that sloughs off easily. This is what she feeds the babies.

This thing looks like it would burst out of your chest

"It's the Alaskan bull worm"😭😂

As a blind man I had no idea people from Sicily were so savage.

Fun fact: no Caecilian can refuse any request on his daughters wedding day.

Reminds me of the alaskan bullworm from spongebob

“Cannibalistic worm babies” has to be the most terrifying thing I’ve ever heard.😭😭🙏🏻

Remember when the Millennium Falcon almost fell victim to one of these?

one thing he left out thats pretty important: despite looking like some sort of alien bug creature, these are actually amphibians

As a sicilian i can confirm this is what we look like

Typa thing sicilian mom would send their kid saying “you guys are eating my life away” after the smallest argument

For those misunderstanding due to the short video, this is not a worm. It’s a type of amphibian. They’re also very shy and stay underground.

He who controls the Spice controls the universe.

Last time I saw one of those it was trying to eat Han solo's ship

Wonder if the "Tremors" movies were based on these critters

"The cave is collapsing!
This is no cave."

My mind immediately went to the thought of that giant worm thing that tried to eat the Millennium Falcon in Empire Strikes Back

And if you gave it a mustache, it’d be a Sicillian Caecilian

despite their appearance, caecilians are more similar to snakes than worms. they are chordates as well as vertebrates and amphibians
