actualy this picture isnt the picture of ОЛГОЙ ХОРХОЙ.I HAVE SEEN IT ONCE BEFORE 3 YEARS IN OUR GOBI DESSERT.ITS SIZE OF BODY MUST BE MUCH BIGGER THAN THAT ONE WHICH IS TAKEN ON THE PICTURE.I THINK THIS IS THE PICTURE OF SOME INSECT WHICH WE CAN SEE IT AFTER THE RAIN IN MONGOLIAN KHANGAI REGION ON SUMMER TIME.

BAMBAM: I fear you are indeed correct in regard to the scale of the cryptid displayed above, but I nevertheless consider it worth pointing out that the photograph in fact appears to depict the Finja Khorkhoi - the so-called Death Worm's closest (and considerably smaller) relative, proof of the existence of which is far more widely available on numerous cryptozoology blogs. Ostensibly not dissimilar to our common Oligochaeta, its inner workings give the game away somewhat in that they are built around a system of between five and eight very short digestive tracts situated consecutively, the better to metabolise the blood which the creature sucks from the lower extremities of unwary mammals - usually Mongolia's highly valued livestock (mainly goats and sheep). Given that it is not widespread enough to have even been photographed in such a manner as to provide conclusive proof of its existence as a species in its own right, you will be relieved to know that it does not cause unmanageable problems for the country's farmers. It is apparently possible to identify the Finja worm from the outside, too, as it sports a set of very tiny mouthparts akin to those found in the Hirudinea and is also said to secrete a sticky, yellowish substance when stressed.

On another note entirely, sometimes deserts DO in fact have stones in them. Ayers Rock is quite a good example.

As you mightn't be able to tell, this picture at the top is done close-up. The pieces of dirt on the ground are tiny and there seems to be some sort of stone on the Ground which a desert would NOT have. The Mongolian Death Worm is, allegedly, a rather large "worm" (or most likely a lizard or snake if it were to exist). It is rumoured to be 0.6 to 1.5 meters (3-5 feet) long and with the width of a fully grown human's arm, not the size of an earthworm! And this image looks suspiciously photoshopped...
