Amazingly long (ABOUT 3 METERS) earthworm discovered in China
(Najamuddin Ghanghro, Karachi (Original from Larkana))
In Binchaun County, China, a
snake-like earthworm measuring over 19 inches (a half-meter) long was found in a
house gutter. Li Zhiwei, a Forestry Bureau worker, made the discovery and
eventually decided to keep the worm and raise it in his backyard. An adult
earthworm's measurements vary by species and can range anywhere from 10mm long
and 1mm wide, to 3-meters long and over 25mm wide. Environmental factors also
influence an earthworm's body size, and they tend to grow longer and larger
during humid seasons if they take in sufficient nutrition and have no natural
enemies. Biologists plan to study the earthworm found by Li to classify it and
identify the reason it was able to grow to its current length.
