What kind of worm was it? I went canoeing in Arkansas and decided to get out along the side of the river bank to take a breather. As I sat down I noticed there was this worm looking thing about 2 or 3 inches long just a foot or two from me. It had pinkish orange skin, crawled by "scooting", kind of like how an inch worm does, and it had a circular mouth with what appeared to be 2 rows of teeth going all the way around. I poked it with a stick and it propped itself up and started hissing. It seriously looked like something out of x-files. Any ideas on what it could be?
