into the decayed material on top of the soil and into the soil. They vary in length from 3 to 59 inches, and
they have tentacle-like structures on their heads that enable them to find their way in their tunnels.

Answer to Question 2

(a) Gymnophiona, which is made up of worm-like amphibians called caecilians
(b) Caudata, which is made up of newts and salamanders
(c) Salientia, which is made up of frogs and toads
