Bipalium
Bipalium is a genus of large predatory land flatworms, terrestrial planarians. They are often loosely called "hammerhead worms" or "arrowhead worms" because of the distinctive shape of their head region.
Bipalium species are carnivorous; they prey on earthworms which they track from the trails left behind.Several species are considered as invasives.

Earthworm stalkers.... Freaky. As if earthworms didn't have enough to worry about with robins dropping death from above they also have these tunnel sharks chasing them from behind!
