A snake-headed flatworm (Rhynchodemus sylvaticus), I think. They eat mollusks, springtails, spiders, and small insects. New Paltz, NY. #planarium #planaria #nature #flatworm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOslBRx4lT0
Dugesia gonocephala is a #flatworm that you'll only find in clean, fast-flowing water.
The size of this animal is about 2.5 cm.

What is that?
Hammerhead #flatworm spotted in Ontario after giant toxic worm invades Quebec, U.S. states. It lives in moist warm soil and eats earthworms. And regrows if it ends up in pieces. Warning pictures.

"The black clutch of eggs was discovered by Yasunori Kano as he was piloting a remote undersea vehicle in NW Pacific. He collected samples at a depth of 6,200 meters. After initial testing, the researchers discovered that the eggs represented something rare—they sent a trawling ship for more specimens"

The #Starfish emoji was rejected in 2021 by #Unicode. They got robbed 
I wonder if they thought some designs look too much like other stars?
Here’s a version of the proposal:

A #flatworm would make a cool #emoji too 
But I don’t know how many people would use it
Check out this movie of a most excellent flatworm. Watch it crawl!
We found it yesterday on Quail Island, NZ, living under a rock near the water at low tide.
It's been identified to genus Notoplana on #iNaturalist.
Just read a most amazing fact. Not only can you train a #flatworm - if you cut off it’s head, it will grow a new head, complete with #brain *and* retain its memory. Every day’s a school day that’s for sure. Btw if you haven’t read #MerlinSheldrake ‘s #EntangledLife about how important the networks made by #fungi are I heartily recommend
