"New Bone-Eating Creature Found in Deep Sea After Alligator Experiment"

TL;DR Summary
Scientists discovered a new bone-eating creature, a 'Zombie Worm', after dropping dead alligators into the deep sea floor in the Gulf of Mexico. Giant isopods and the 'Zombie Worm' were found to consume the alligator carcasses, with one alligator being carried off by a mysterious creature, likely a Greenland Shark or Six Gill Shark. This study sheds light on the scavenging behavior and biodiversity of deep sea creatures in response to unusual food sources.
