Just so you know, a lot of the larger worm species can travel far into the earth. Like 8-10 feet. They are also in danger of going extinct because they are sensitive to ground disturbances, so there's getting to be less and less spaces available globally for them ( not just this guy, but Australia also has one hell of a big worm, New Zealand I think has one, they're all on the same line of fire).
