Many species of earthworm or oligochaete are able to squirt coelomic (body cavity) fluid out through external pores in their dorsal surface if stressed. However, the furthest recorded squirts are those of Australia's blue squirter earthworm Didymogaster sylvaticus, which can squirt its coelomic fluid to 30 cm high.
