Despite the huge size, the number of Gippsland species is declining. The reason is due to their changing habitat and slow reproductive speed.

In order to explain why so many giant worms appear after the rain, so experts believe that, earthworms have behavior in deep caves and in wet places.

However, because the rain is too big, the land is easy to land so they have to crawl to the ground because they cannot live in the condition of the underground soil. If living in a suitable environment, Gippsland earthworms can live up to 20 years.
