For the past 110 years enviromental groups have been petitioning for the protection of the "giant" Palouse earthworm under the belive that it was a meter long, spit at you and would smell like lilies. Two reaserchers from the university of Idaho found two after sending electricity into the earth to force the worms to come out. The pair of worms they got were an adult and a younger worm. The adult was disected and measured at 9 to 10 inches and the juvenille worm is being stored in soil with ice to further reaserch. I was disapinted in finding out that its not that big and it doesnt spit, it doesnt even smell of lilies, whats next no jakalope?

ReplyDeleteThat stinks. I was hoping for a worm that could last the day for fishing. This one however would scare the fish away.

ReplyDeleteI'm glad that this worm is not real! I would be scared if I saw this creature outside!
