TL;DR Summary

Researchers have discovered the fossil of a giant terror beast worm, named Timorebestia, in North Greenland, which ruled the Earth 518 million years ago. Measuring about 30 centimeters long, it was one of the largest swimming animals of its time and a dominant predator in the oceans. The worm's reign set the stage for evolutionary changes, reshuffling the food chain and dominance hierarchy during the Cambrian Explosion, ultimately leading to the diversification of the ocean ecosystem.
