The animal Hydra oligactis‚ the animal we are using this week‚ is a planarian. Planarians are in the phylum Platyhelminthes (which means “flat worm”)‚ which contains about 25‚000 species‚ most of which are in the tapeworm and fluke groups. These are parasitic‚ living in other organisms where they can cause serious disease such as schistosomiasis (See Sadava

Previously belonging to Kingdom Protista but have since been broken up into different kingdoms ("What Are Dinoflagellates?"). Approximately 4500 species have been described and organized into 550 genera. Almost three quarters of the genera and more than half of the species are fossil. Around 1700 are marine and about 220 are living in freshwater. Their specie growth is
