Pheretima praepinguis is a huge earthworm about half meter long of genus Pheretima.[2] Pheretima praepinguis lives in Emei mountain, Sichuan Province, China, and is one of the most featured organisms living in the place.[1] It is trivially called "Big Earthworm of Emei"(Chinese: 峨嵋大蚯蚓) or "Toudilong" (Chinese: 透地龍, literally means "dragon which can go through the earth").[3]
