Giant Earthworm Discovered In Ecuador


Anomalocaris

Recommended Posts

 

From the article:

Even more incredible is the fact that this particular specimen is considered to be relatively small as the species is known to reach lengths of up to 7ft - that's nearly twice the size of this one.

Yuck....

If I saw one, I don't think I'd stick around long enough to determine whether it was a worm or snake.

I remember seeing a picture of a 4 footer in the 1973 Guinness Book of World Records when I got it for Christmas when I was 9. I thought the same thing, what kind of fish would you be looking for and would you bait it with an anchor from a small craft? :huh:

You've just reminded me of the time when we were on holiday, my dad was looking for some bait to go fishing with. He found a tin in my uncle's shed which he kept maggots in, but when my dad took the lid off the tin all these blowflies flew out of it.

I'm glad we don't have earthworms that size where I am.
