Thousands of ten-inch 'penis fish' wash up on a beach: Fishermen flock to shore to grab them all
Urechis unicinctus washed up onto the beach in Argentina after a storm
Fisherman have since reportedly flocked to the beach to gather them up for bait
Thousands of ten-inch 'penis fish' have washed up on a beach in Argentina in a bizarre phenomenon.
The vile-looking sea worms, known formally as urechis unicinctus, lined the beaches of Multillar, north of Rio Grande.
The creatures flooded onto the beach after a heavy storm on Monday afternoon. This is not an infrequent phenomenon in Argentina with stacks of the sea worms having previously lined the shores in the south of the country following torrential weather.
Despite their rather rude-looking appearance, the sea worms are greatly sought after in Asia for their medicinal properties.
Local fishermen have since reportedly flocked to the beach to gather up the 'penis fish' as they are deemed to be excellent bait, particularly when fishing for seabass.
