[Jakster840]

Evolution is amazing.

[Poncho151500]

Aww, it's cute. :)

[MattakuNoKoohai]

they have derpy eyes lol

[stephen88hox]

you can cut these in half or cut a 3rd off and it will grow into a new flatworm =]

[Nanovirus5995]

How sentient do you think these things are?

[GeekTeen]

@Nanovirus5995 Not very. They can sense changes in the water(i.e pH and temperature) and 'perceive' light on some basic level(and only to avoid dehydration), but they don't even have a brain, really. Just a ganglion/concentrated cluster of nerves located at the anterior end. They don't even have pain receptors, and any auditory stimulus can only be interpreted from the changes the sound waves induce upon the water in which they're in.

EMZ=]

[Nanovirus5995]

@GeekTeen Thank you very much XD That was a wonderful explanation ^)^

[GeekTeen]

@Nanovirus5995 NP and ty :3.

[lilspreck96]

I always loved the mouths! It almost looks like a horrible belly-button disfuguriation! Or some alien parasite!

[GCS2Master]

can i have one? if i can, where i can get one of these creatures,from an lagoon?

[MuffinBustin]

@GCS2Master if you have a fish tank you can get some gravel for it and a fish and in 5 months you will have planaria thats the only way i know how to get them

[BadNews88]

Bloody *intriguing, fascinating* creatures!

I only *read8 about 'em as a kid (via the WORLD BOOK ENCYCLOPEDIA) But I am *chuffed* to (finally!) see 'em "live" after all these years!

Note to welcomegohome:

Yes, yer right, m8; Cut the head in half and two heads soon grow. And the more you slice, the more grow...the bits that are nearer to the head mature first.

Thanx fer the vignette, m8..
