It wasn't completely dried up but already shriveled. Earthworms can generally survive a loss of 50% of their body weight in water which is huge. They also can go into a stasis called estivation during droughts but they have to curl up deep inside the soil for that. Out in the sun on a hot road it's soon curtains unless I come to the rescue.

I don't exactly love worms but I don't like to see helpless animals suffer. There's already enough shit in this world.
