4. The Resilient Giant Palouse Earthworm:
Believed to have been extinct since the 1980s, the giant Palouse earthworm surprised scientists when an adult specimen was discovered in 2005. Living exclusively in the prairielands of Idaho and Washington, these white worms can grow up to three feet long. Their distinctive feature? They emit a fragrant lily-like scent. While their size may be intimidating, these earthworms serve as a testament to the hidden wonders of our world.
