@Roberta,
These are worms? If they really are then they're the most beautiful worms on the planet.

I wonder if they're immobile....

Those Christmas Tree worms are unbelievable. There are so many animals out there I had never heard of. Probably never would have if it wasn't for this amazing thread.

I love the polar bear and the kitty!

Tsar, That's a very appealing kitten. Nice little bear cub too. I'll take one of each.
