Let’s get real for a second. The Thames would be a dead zone without the tiny guys. Billions of tubifex worms live in the mud, feeding on organic waste. They’re gross—bright red, wriggling in clumps—but they’re the river’s janitors. They eat our leftover sewage so you don’t have to. Thank a worm today.
And don’t get me started on the plankton. They’re invisible to the naked eye, but they form the base of the food chain. Without them, no fish, no seals, no dolphins, no frantic Londoners spotting a beak in the water. It’s all connected, man.
