Hunting the Mongolian Death Worm

It spits corrosive yellow saliva and can generate electrical blasts powerful enough to kill a camel. But the Mongolian Death Worm - a comic book-style beast documented in local texts and folklore - may have met its match.

A team of British scientists has set out to capture the elusive monster - and they plan to wrestle it to the ground with their bare hands.

yeah. hope they do not befall on the myth been reality

hah is that the beatlejuice picture?

I think it is highly unlikely that it actually electrocutes anything ( mainly due to sand not being a very good conducter ) but i remember reading that ppl think it might just shoot a poison or even a gas that knocks there victim out instantly.

Good Luck to them in anycase wish i could join them lol

hmmm thier hunting down a creature called the 'Mongolian DEATH Worm' good luck to them lol

Cool, my favourite cryptid.

But do we really want to know if it exists?

I cant help thinking of the sand worms out of the book Dune but hey good luck too them.

that reminds me about the Chtorrs (sci-fi)

its not much of a scientific expedition if they are going based on a myth and no evidence.

Well there has always got to be a first meeting, that’s when myth becomes fact.

It dosen't matter. Its much better to know exacty what the threat is, and how to prevent it from continuing to terrify these people. Finding if it's real would be much better than not knowing, or not having any information about it and how it lives...

We are an enquisitive species and anything we dont know or understand we strive to finally discover and gain an understanding of it.

Good luck to them.

First of all, how is a creature that kills people supposed to be a great pet??

And that comes to the question of why is it that one has never been captured, same goes for bigfoot and aliens and sea monsters, Though some may have been secretly taken...
