Tevnia jerichonana

Wikipedia Abstract

Tevnia jerichonana is a species of giant tube worm in the family Siboglinidae, living in a unique deep-sea environment. These deep sea marine species survive in environments like hydrothermal vents. These vents give off gas and toxic chemicals with the addition of having superheated temperatures. The giant tube worm prefers environments such as these despite the harsh temperature and toxic sea water.
