The World is Awesome

Did you know that this:

actually exists? In that color? Naturally? And nowhere near a toxic waste dump either. It actually lives in a very specific part of Australia and is pretty rare. They sometimes get dug up when new roads are being constructed or after heavy rain. It's an earthworm, in case you weren't sure, and no, it is not the only unusual earthworm in Australia.

This is a Giant Gippsland Earthworm and it regularly grows to be 10 feet long. The longest one ever recorded was 14 feet!! They also live in a very specific area of Australia (but not the same one as the blue worms) but similar worms are found in other areas of the world. (Anyone want to help me excavate my backyard?) Anyway, all this is just to say that the world is awesome. Just thought you should know.
