      Hi Cerys

      There are so many – try typing “giant earthworms” or “blue earthworm” into google images or check out this video of a giant earthworm to see earthworms as you’ve never seen them before.

      Earthworms have about 5 hearts and eat so much soil in a day that it would be like me eating 300 bigmacs!

      Some species of earthworms reproduce by making clones of themselves.

      I could go on (and often do!). They are fascinating creatures that scientists are learning new things about all the time.

      cheers
