In nature, animals are very sensitive to weather changes, and different animals will behave differently. Recently, in Tamborin, Australia, a resident photographed a giant earthworm crawling out of the ground, this earthworm is 60 centimeters long, directly into the room to avoid heavy rain.
According to reports: Due to the recent heavy rainfall in Australia, flooding has occurred in many places, and in order to avoid flooding, many animals have made abnormal reactions. There are also many earthworms crawling out of the ground in search of dry land, but the length of this giant earthworm is particularly obvious, the local earthworm is generally up to 30 centimeters long, but this earthworm is more than 60 centimeters long, which is twice the length of the average earthworm.
In the animal world, the Australian giant earthworm is a huge earthworm, generally about 1 meter long, weighing about 200 grams, is one of the longest earthworm species in the world, they are generally distributed in the south of Australia, inhabit the ground 0.9-1.5 meters deep, only when there is too much precipitation, it will drill out of the soil.
There are about 2,500 species of earthworms known to exist, and they generally live on the surface of the soil, feed on decaying organic matter, and absorb oxygen in soil pores. When the weather rains, the gaps in the soil are occupied by rainwater, the oxygen content is reduced, and the earthworms breathe air, so on rainy days, many earthworms will drill out of the soil to find dry land in order to avoid the rain.
But after the rain passes, you will also find a lot of dead earthworms, this is because the earthworm is a slow-moving terrestrial link animal, but also very afraid of light creatures, the temperature rises, it is easy to cause the earthworm skin to be dried by the sun, the earthworm will also quickly suffocate to death, so after the rain stops, if the earthworm does not crawl quickly in time, it will also be life-threatening.
The Australian giant earthworm is huge, but they are very docile and have little aggression against humans, and the population of the giant earthworm is also very fragile, because only a few wetlands are suitable for their survival, the distribution range is relatively small, the population is relatively low, and it has been included in the IUCN Red Animal List.
Pay attention to the six dimensions of nature And let nature know nature!
