I don’t know about you guys, but for me, the creepiest part of Peter Jackson’s King Kong wasn’t the T-rex or the gorilla itself, but those giant, creepy centipedes that crawled all over the crew of the SS Venture. They were the worst.
Luckily, Skull Island has yet to be found, but that’s not to say that these centipedes aren’t real. Meet the giant centipede — a 12-inch-long bug that’s found in South America. It’s not quite big enough to eat a whole sailor, but as you’ll see in the video, it has no problem devouring a lizard in one sitting.
I’d almost rather live in a world where dinosaurs still exist than one where these things are crawling around and eating the carcasses of lizards. If centipedes had, like, 30 fewer legs, I’d probably like them a little bit more.
