A 3 foot long worm??? In North America? Shudder.....

excerpts from Lib's link:

But scary or not, the Palouse earthworm (Driloleirus americanus) is critically endangered, and both it and its ecosystem in portions of Idaho and Washington are in danger of being wiped out.

Of course, if a species is only seen four times in 110 years, it's hard to gain enough scientific information about it to say that it is officially endangered, why it is endangered, and what needs to be done to protect it.

The worm, which reportedly emits a flowery fragrance when handled and spits when threatened , remains the largest worm in North America. At least for now.

Save the worm.
