Zombie Worms

According to the World Register of Marin Species, there are five different kinds of zombie worms. And while they don’t actually have stomachs, they do like to eat bones. Technically, the first burrow into the bone, then dissolve the bone so that it releases the fat and protein from inside which they can then digest.

The good news is that they only live in deep, deep ocean water and have only been found on rotting bones, usually of dead whales.
