New Zealand 9 -year -old boy found that 1 meter -long worm in his garden is equivalent to a 5 -year -old child height

According to the British "Mirror" reported on September 7, a 9 -year -old boy named Barnaby Domigan in New Zealand found a giant worm when he was playing in his garden, which was as long as a 5 -year -old child.

Barnaby's mother, Jo, said: "Barnaby found that the worm was shocked. He didn't expect a worm to be so big. At that time, he was playing with his friends in our yard. Is there anything interesting inside. After discovering the huge worm, he pulled it out with a stick. We did not measure its length, but Barnaby believes that it is as long as his two arms, so we can I think it is about 1 meter long. Barnaby quickly called his father over and took a picture. "

Barnaby wanted to leave this worm, which scared his parents. In the end, they reached a compromise and put the worm back back to Barnaby to find its water. Jo said: "I posted a photo on Facebook that night. The next day we found that netizens seemed to be very interested in it, so I went out to find it again, but it was gone. It is estimated that it was walking."

After experiencing this incident, the Barnaby family learned that there are several worms in New Zealand that can grow to more than 30 cm and the maximum can grow to 1.3 meters long. John Marris, the curator of the Insect Studies College of Lincoln University in New Zealand, said that this worm usually appears in unsolvable areas, such as forests, and this kind of worm is very rare in its own garden.
