What Is The Name Of This Creature ? Is It A Baby Snake? by asumo12: 2:39pm On Jun 01, 2015 |
Found this fascinating little creature on the floor in my little farm! It was having no success getting any grip on the cemented floor, and was just writhing on the spot. My wife immediately identified it as a "pooran" and said that they are quite common in rainy season. As ever, my camera batteries let me down (damn: these ones are supposed to hold their charge when not used) so I had to use the phone. It would not keep still, but I still managed a look with the 2x lens. --- no legs at all that I could see --- it has eyes, which can be seen catching the flash, unlike any c/m-pede I ever saw. What did u think? Agree with me that it is a young snake? Is it possible to identify (err... just brown) at this age? image was before/After killing! cc Sijo01

Isn't that an earthworm? You could have just sprinkled salt on it. |

asumo12: This is an excerpt from an article on wikipedia. Note that earth warms can vary in size. Earth warm An earthworm is a tube-shaped, segmented worm found in the phylum Annelida. They are commonly found living in soil, feeding on live and dead organic matter. Its digestive system runs through the length of its body. It conducts respiration through its skin. An earthworm has a double transport system composed of coelomic fluid that moves within the fluid-filled coelom and a simple, closed blood circulatory system. It has a central and a peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system consists of two ganglia above the mouth, one on either side, connected to a nerve cord running back along its length to motor neurons and sensory cells in each segment. Large numbers of chemoreceptors are concentrated near its mouth. Circumferential and longitudinal muscles on the periphery of each segment enable the worm to move. Similar sets of muscles line the gut, and their actions move the digesting food toward the worm's anus. An earthworm is a tube-shaped, segmented worm found in the phylum Annelida.
