Scientists have discovered a new species of worm, Diplolaimelloides woaabi, in the Great Salt Lake, which is only the third known animal group capable of surviving its extreme salinity. This species, guided by Indigenous elders in its naming, is believed to be unique to the lake. The origins of this worm remain unclear, with various theories suggesting ancient oceans or avian transport. This finding could provide valuable insights into the ecological health of the lake as environmental conditions evolve.
