I've seen this story before...and it sounds like a page out of Frank Herbert's Dune. Sandworms anyone?
I saw one once it was in las vegas
It's like that movie "Tremors" in the real world. Maybe Kevin Bacon could help them.
How in the world can this fabled animal (if real) shoot lightning out of its rectum? I mean, more power to them, but it seems really unlikely. This is a crazy story.
Electric eels generate electricity within their bodies. Silkworms and Spiders create their own "Web" out of organic material in their bodies. Bombardier beetles fire acid. If it were to eject "String" with a high copper content, then theoretically, it would be able to send a high voltage shock down that line. It would only have a range of several meters, of course...
