Did you know the world's oceans are filled with segmented worms called polychaetes (poly-keets)?

These relatives of earthworms and leeches are amazingly diverse, yet unknown to most people. This Scavenger Safari will highlight the amazing diversity of polychaete shapes and sizes, feeding, reproduction, and their ecological importance to all ocean ecosystems.
