Phylum Priapulida: The Penis Worms
Continuing through Ecdysozoa, we will now wrap up clade Scalidophora by examining phylum Priapulida. These are also known as the penis worms, and for good reason, given their distinct morphology. These range quite a bit in size despite only consisting of 22 species, and they are often confused for organisms in other phyla, so let's get a better understanding of them now!

Quite impressive that Dave is mature enough to do this presentation with a straight face.
Can we please get the outtakes of this video of Dave busting out laughing trying to talk about this?
At long last, we come to the phylum that screams: SIZE MATTERS!
When I read the title I got scared.. Thought they were literal worms that entered your... you know.

Dave really knows how to suck us in with his deep knowledge.
Do you have a doi to the temperature-size correlation?
It's really crazy that even scientists are in on the "penis worm" joke. But then again, the first name of the Megalosaur was Scrotum Humanum
Intriguing.

A little confused about how this channel operates. A lot of vids have a scriptwriter mentioned in the description. Do you just do the voice-over work for some of these (TedEd style)? I used to think it was a one-man-show, lol.

I think these are average sized worms, perhaps even above average.
I can't help but imagine what it was like way back when that group of scientists first examined this thing - a thick, 15cm long worm with all these spikes & hooks on one end - & one immediately said, _"Hey, this thing looks just like my tallywacker, so why don't we call them Priapulids?"_ He'd have gotten quite a lot of side eye from his colleagues. Not the least 'cause most human phalluses aren't festooned with horny barbs - thank God.
Just a worm snooPING AS usual.
