  • Actually the tail end is the front part of the parasite , cool huh! , I was looking for a video to proove that it moves forward where the tail is . Thanks so much for the video .

  • Is there a head end and tail end ? It seems like the skinny end was leading the movement. Maybe they dont have a front or back, I am pretty ignorant to the subject matter, very interested though.
