Meet Walter - one of the wormpet(s)

Walter is a bit shy - notice the light-colored wide thick band forming around the middle - the clitellum. The clitellum will someday help to form cocoons. Baby worms will hatch from the cocoons and Walter will be growing family.

WALTER

A baby worm (smaller than a grain of rice) being hatched from a cocoon.

Walter also has five (5) hearts, to pump blood through his/her body and keep his/her temperature down on warm days. When worms dig under ground, the hearts keep them alive and help the blood go to the rest of the body!
