Giant predatory worms invading France and threatening local wildlife
2018-05-23
[INDEPENDENT.CO.UK] Giant predatory worms from tropical parts of Asia that have stealthily invaded French gardens pose a threat to local wildlife, scientists are warning.
We seen dis movie.
The voracious creatures have infiltrated gardens across the country and also French territories.
I went with Ed Wood. He didn't like it neither.
A new study has collected reports of the unusual creatures, which are known to grow up to 40cm in length.
He spilled Coke on his sweater when the giant worm ate Marseilles.
Despite their size, these unusual creatures would have gone completely unnoticed were it not for the efforts of amateur naturalist Pierre Gros who took a photograph of an unidentified worm in 2013.
Pierre was the hero. He tried to alert the government to the danger before the worms got outta hand. They laughed at him, all except the perfessor and his beautiful daughter.
“This photograph was sent from email to email to email and finally it came to me,” Professor Jean-Lou Justine, a zoologist at the French National Museum of Natural History told The Independent.
The beautiful daughter was the one that give it to him. Ed Wood just rolled his eyes at that part. Then he ate all my Jujubes.
“I looked at it and said 'Well, this is not possible – we don’t have this kind of animal in France'.”
No kiddin'. A forty foot worm with spit that dissolves concrete...
At first he thought it was a prank, especially when weeks later Mr Gros sent him images of a second and third exotic flatworm species, all allegedly found in his garden.
That was when they ate Marseilles.

#1  These large invasive worms now thrive in wetter parts of Britain, and are known to decimate local earthworm populations. As a result, measures are now in place to control their movements between countries.

Apparently ground worms are more important to elected officials than their love-starved children.
