He discovers a gigantic earthworm in his garden

A New Zealand boy had the best day of his life after discovering a giant earthworm in his yard.

9-year-old Barnaby Domigan discovered it in his garden in Christchurch.

If his mother considers it an earthworm worthy of a nightmare, the child was very proud of it.

He claims to like weird animals, and wrote the worm as being cold and slimy.

After taking a memorable photo with the worm, it was put back into the garden soil.

According to an expert, it could be a very old species of earthworm, but it could not be identified.
