Well, that was puerile and uninformative. I wonder if your cringing response just kind of atrophies after jobbing as a voice actor long enough? I couldn’t have read that script with a straight face.

Interestingly, there is one species of fish, the monocle bream (Scolopsis affinis) that has a tactic of fighting back against the bobbit worm. When it sees a fellow school member get attacked, they mob the worm by blowing jets of water at the burrow entrance, revealing the worm’s location and warning other school members to stay away! Pretty cool stuff!
Director: Now add lots of gurgling and sloshing noises.
Foley artist: OK, done that. Think I’ve gone too far though?
D: No, we’ll need twice as much.
F: …
D: And make sure to add lip-smacking noises too. This thing was hungry. That’s the noise that makes people understand real science.
F: …
I had to stop watching the video, due to the narration. God that was awful.

1:05 No brain? Being annelids, I am pretty sure these worms have a centralized nervous system with a concentration of nerve cells near the mouth, where all the sensory organs are, that would count as a “brain”, however tiny.

I guess a species known for biting through corals wouldn’t have much issue with a boxfish’s armor, but what about the toxins they secrete? Are they only effective on vertebrates?
Now I know (maybe) why Dr. Myers studied biology instead of my major. Studying Mozart or Beethoven . . . a little different.
HAR HAR HAR HAR.
I’m sure that if they tried a little harder, they could have made the narration even more repulsive.
