# I would have expected that.
In fact, all I know about Caecilians is that they are... sticky. I don´t know if there are any native from here.

Edit: I just checked. Yes, there are a few species here. But I could have confused them with worms, if I ever saw one.

# should be.
they're native most everywhere, so far as i know.
so ubiquitous and so understudied!
they live everywhere yet people are unaware of them!

*stops self before getting really warmed up to the subject*

edit: yeah, but they are AMPHIBIANS!
and some are pretty damn big.

# I have seen earthworms
bigger than that.

I also saw a sketch of some skull. Do they have teeth?

# yeah.
most of them do, anyways. there might be a couple that have evolved out of them.

edit: the largest known species as of 2000 was 5 ft long. they may have discovered a bigger one by now, i en't sure.
