The Earthworm That’s Bigger Than a Snake
When the photo of this giant earthworm went viral on the internet in December 2013, everyone thought it was fake. But be assured that this earthworm is real. It was discovered by Mickey Grosman after a 5,000-mile trek across South America. He spotted it in the Sumaco National Park.

Grosman picked it up (we’re not sure we would do that, though) but couldn’t identify the type of animal it was. Although the identity of this earthworm hasn’t been clearly stated, some suspect it is a Glossoscolex Giganteaus. Others think it could be a Caecilian – a legless amphibian.
