TWO NEW EARTHWORMS WILL GROW FROM

ONE EARTHWORM THAT IS CUT IN HALF

25 Popular Myths About Animals That You Probably Believe

Although earthworms do have limited regenerational capabilities,

if you cut a worm in half, its tail end will not regrow a head. In fact,

it won’t regrow anything…it just dies. Now if you cut the

earthworm far back enough (behind the clitellum), the head portion

may regrow a stunted tail. But you won’t have two earthworms.

You’ll still only have one, and it will almost certainly be shorter.

Animal myth busted!

CATS ALWAYS LAND ON THEIR FEET

Cat thinking

While they do have the ability to contort their spine in such a way

as to readjust themselves in mid-air, this is not always the case.

They’re cats, not superheroes.
