Moving the Worms


A whole mess of giant Australian earthworms have to be moved to make way for Progress. It's tricky work--it's taken two months, and they've moved 600 earthworms in that time, but with a 20% mortality rate. They may be big, but they're fragile. Sometimes workers would spend two hours brushing the dirt away before they could move them.
