I’m Norm!

The giant African millipede comes from the rainforests of Africa.

I wear glasses.

They have poor eyesight but they can feel with their antennae and their legs.

I’m an eco-warrior.

They eat rotting leaves off the forest floor and keep the habitat clean.

I’m usually reserved and quiet.

The giant African millipede is the largest of all the millipede species

I have a lot of legs and feet.

The name millipede means “thousand-feet,” though most giant African millipedes only have about 400 legs.

But when I’m nervous I start to smell.

As a defence mechanism, a millipede will coil into a ball and produce a smelly fluid to detract any predators.

I love recycling.

Their waste is full of helpful nutrients and helps new trees grow.
