Talk:Spriggina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In one speculative view, a spriggina would wriggle up onto a stationary frond-like, mushroom-like or plant-like lifeform, release digestive juices, let the juices loosen up the victim's flesh, and them obsorb it internally.
It may actually be the mouth that was the Cambrian-explosion-triggering device, not eyesight, as is commonly speculated. A mouth allows one to eat on the run. This could explain why the precambrian critters mostly dissappeared: they were overly adapted to external digestion such that they couldn't get away from preditors and digest food at the same time.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.183.137.111 (talk • contribs).
