Best Answer

The caecilians are an order of amphibians that superficially resemble earthworms or snakes. Knowledge of caecilians is far from complete, because of their habitat and possibly partly because they have often been mistaken for worms or snake. Geographically, they are most prolific in Central and South America but they also populate other tropical areas of the world, including South-East Asia and parts of Africa.
