A California local couldn't believe his eyes when he saw a beach full of penises.
Resident David Ford, who likes to take a walk on Drakes Beach, said to Vice, "I didn’t expect to see such bizarre creatures on the ground. I had no idea what they might be...it went on for two miles. I walked for another half hour and they were scattered everywhere. There were seagulls lined up the beach the whole way having eaten so much they could barely stand. A quarter of them looked like they were still alive. The rest were dead; they had a dead sea-creature smell."
David Ford wanted to solve the mystery of the penis and took pictures of these penis-shaped creatures, and after searching on the internet, he found out that these were a species of worm, called fat innkeeper worms, or "penis fish."
Then Ford contacted a biologist at Bay Nature, Ivan Parr, who clearly explained the nature of these dick-like creatures, what they are and why they look like a dick: "Yes, the physical design of the fat innkeeper worm has some explaining to do. But the fat innkeeper is perfectly shaped for a life spent underground. Within a beach or mudflat, it digs a U-shaped burrow extending a few feet in length but no wider than the worm itself. The burrow’s front entrance pokes up like a little sand chimney. These can be seen clustered around the low tide line of a mudflat or sandy beach. The backdoor is marked by a pile of worm castings, which get projected out the end of the tunnel with a blast of water from the worm’s hindquarters."
