Some species of South African earthworms can grow to 6.7 metres, which is nearly two cars in length! The longest earthworm – Microchaetus rappi, can grow to almost 21 feet!
A pizza created by master pizza chef – Renato Viola is currently listed as the most expensive pizza in the world, with a value of $12,000! And why? Because he will come to your home to make it, with a chef and a sommelier in tow. The crust is produced using organic Arabian flour and is prepared three days before it is required. The topping on the 8″ diameter pizza usually consists of lobster, caviar and five plus types of cheese – if that’s not taking the pizza, l don’t know what is.
You probably don’t want to know this – BUT slugs and snails have up to 27,000 tiny teeth protrusions on a tongue-like mouth organ called the radula – called denticles. Strangely enough, that is more teeth than the great white shark, which has 30,000 teeth …………during its life time and typically only has 3,000.
