This sea worm's butt detaches from its body to swim off in search of love

By A Mystery Man Writer

In one of the strangest paths to reproduction, this tiny Japanese sea worm actually grows a ‘mini-me’ at its rear end, which it then deploys so it can swim off on its own in search of similar autonomous tail of the opposite sex to spawn with. The worm, meanwhile, will then grow another, to deploy for mating once more.
