Spiky oddball

No, this isn’t about my former boss ;-)

It’s about a critter whose scientific name is Orthrozanclus reburrus . Scientists say it prowled the oceans somewhere near the dawn of time. It lived before the Cambrian Explosion, and had no had no eyes and no limbs. It propelled itself on a foot like a snail does. It also ate bacterial growths.

Come to think of it, this does sound more and more like someone I once worked for!
