The Lord has made everything special in their way. Just look at a worm Called Elvis worm has been found..
"Four new species of deep-sea worm, whose iridescent scales resemble the outfits worn by singer Elvis Presley, have been described by researchers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego. All four are have been placed in the Peinaleopolynoe genus, a group of scale worms distantly related to earthworms, using DNA sequencing. One species was given the name Peinaleopolynoe elvisi, a nod to the king of rock ’n’ roll himself. The specimens were collected from the bottom of the eastern Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico and an area near Costa Rica, using a crewed research submarine and remotely operated vehicles."
