An image circulating online shows a person holding a giant earthworm. Today we’ll look at the authenticity of this photo. It’s real. Let’s first take a look at the image. The man in the photo is Mickey Grosman, whose 5000-mile trek across South America was aimed at creating a “global awareness and fight towards finding a cure” for cancer. When the a photo of Grosman holding the worm was reposted in December 2013, the page commented that, “The worm is actually native to the cloud forest area of South America. The high humidity levels create an ideal habitat for these worms that in Kichwa are called cuica.” Below are additional views of the same worm, which was said to be found in the Sumaco National Park in Ecuador. You can see more photos of Grosman’s adventure on the Facebook page Amazon 5000 – for the cure. Below is a video trailer of Grosman’s journey. This blogger has some photos of the same worm in his attempts to identify it. Bottom Line The photo of a man holding a giant worm is real.
