Amazonian soil is some of the most fertile on Earth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_preta

It makes sense that the worms grow huge with good nutrition!

Giant Earthworms are so cool. Little big cuties must make so much soil.

"Tremors" with earthworms and The Rock Dwayne is making a big deal about it, but they just do worm stuff.
