Primocandelabrum is a gem of a word!
These wondrous worms build their homes directly on the rocky vent chimneys where temperatures can reach up to 105 degrees Celsius (221 degrees Fahrenheit). 🔥

Four panel comic from Nathan Pyle. Panel 1: A kid wearing a backward ball cap and a backpack looks at a dinosaur fossil, and says "So ... you had feathers?" Panel 2: The kid now says "Not so scary now!" Panel 3: We scan above the kid, seeing two small shapes at the bottom of a high window. Panel 4: We zoom in on the window, and see two pigeons. One says "The ancestors.". The other says "He mocks them"
