Have you ever seen a flatworm before? Its scientific name is Platyhelminth. In this educational video for kids we are going to learn some interesting facts about Platyhelminthes.
Platyhelminthes are soft-bodied invertebrates. This means that they do not have a backbone. There are over twenty thousand species of flatworms in the world.
Platyhelminthes can live almost anywhere, from freshwater lakes, ponds, and streams, to inside other debris. And most of these interesting creatures are found in countries like New Zealand, Australia, Central and South America, and on the islands located in the south Pacific ocean.
