Talk:Giant Gippsland earthworm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
We live in an area where they are found & after 30 years of farming here I would judge them to be considerably more numerous. (comment by 203.220.40.155)
Awwww! c'mon, someone post a picture please!!!!
The earthworm article states that there is only some 300 species of native earthworms in Australia.
ANSWER: About 650 natives are currently described from Austalia (inc. Tassie) with about 75 introduced exotics; if more interest were shown (with funding) then this would undoubtedly double in short order and could be expected to finally yield >2,000 natives - considering the land area and lack of comprehensive survey for most of it.
