This Tiny Red Worm is ONLY Found in Colorado I think Colorado Governor Jared Polis got a little bit bored this weekend. Why do I say that? Well, on February 19, Polis went looking for an animal only native to our beautiful state. In his Facebook status, Polis wrote: "Wouldn't it be cool if we were the only state with a certain kind of bird or lizard? Well I didn't find any mammals, reptiles, or birds that are unique to Colorado, but I did find one animal that only lives in our state: Limnodrilus sulphurensis, a type of red worm that only lives in Sulphur Cave Spring near Steamboat Springs!"
