The Kinabalu giant earthworm (Pheretima darnleiensis annelid . It is found widely in Southeast Asia , primarily in the Indo-Australasian Archipelago (e.g., Singapore , Sumatra , Java , Bali , Borneo , Sulawesi , the Philippines , some islands near New Guinea such as Darnley Island and Christmas Island ), but also in Peninsular Malaysia . Records from the Caroline Islands and Fiji are believed to represent introductions. This also applies to the eponymic Darnley Island record.[1]
On Mount Kinabalu , Borneo , the animal grows to a length of approximately 70 cm and lives in burrows in the soft and thick soils around Paka Cave shelter, at an altitude of 3,000 m above sea level. The earthworm 's segments are encircled by numerous setae and its skin has a greenish iridescent gloss. Amongst the Kinabalu earthworm's natural predators is another large annelid, the Kinabalu giant red leech . Both animals can only be seen during or after a heavy downpour.[1] [2]
