The Lake Pedder earthworm lived in Tasmania. It is only known from one specimen collected while scouting out an area of Maria Creek along the Serpentine River Huon River for an area to install a hydroelectric dam. Because it is only known from one specimen, little is known about its habits or life cycle. It is thought that it lived on organic matter and helped dig holes which aerated the soil like most other earthworms. Once the area was flooded to create Lake Pedder in 1972, the Lake Pedder earthworm was never seen again. Although Jurassic Park is fiction, scientists are working on several de-extinction projects. In fact, in 2003 scientists did bring back the extinct Pyrenean ibex, a type of wild goat, for 10 minutes before it died, showing de-extinction is possible. The Lake Pedder earthworm might be a candidate. Scientists would potentially use DNA from the one and only specimen at the Museum of Tasmania. While it could possibly be a candidate for de-extinction, its more famous Tassie neighbor, the Tasmanian tiger is a more likely species for Tasmania to bring back from extinction. If the Lake Pedder earthworm was brought back from extinction, could it survive in another area of Tasmania, we may never know.
