Q. What is the name of the newly discovered species of carnivorous worm found in northern Greenland, recently named "terror beast" by scientists?
Answer:
Timorebestia koprii
Notes: Scientists have recently made a discovery by uncovering the fossils of a newfound species of carnivorous worm in northern Greenland, aptly named
Timorebestia koprii, or "terror beast." This species is a pioneer among early carnivorous animals that colonized the water column during the early Cambrian period, which occurred approximately 541 million to 485.4 million years ago. The fossils of Timorebestia koprii were found in the Early Cambrian Sirius Passet fossil locality in North Greenland. These ancient creatures were giants of their time and occupied a significant position near the top of the food chain, comparable in importance to some of the top carnivores in modern oceans, such as sharks and seals during the Cambrian period.
