Not All Worms are Ugly by Ranohara
I feel like so few people have heard of planarians and this is problem because they're cute as hell.

Look at these little cutie pies. I'm learning a bit about them in Bio II. They're a type of flatworm and those 'eyes' are just eyespots that can sense light and the lack of it. They also eat via a pharynx that's located right around where that pale stripe in the middle of their bodies is.
tl;dr planarians are really rad ok guys

Ahhh sorry about that!! ;n; I was just excited to share the existence of flatworms with people because they're hella cute, and people in my lab were getting grossed out because they had to deal with worms. I mean some of the worms we dealt with were /gross/, but these guys weren't and people were still dissing them. :\

Those are cute! giggle
You know it's funny, because I guess I never realized what stingray faces looked like, since most of the time the photos are taken of them from a top-down view. But I was shelving a children's book that had the cover photo taken from below...stingrays have very funny, comical faces! lol

Aren't they? c:
Ahhhhh I love stingray faces!!! I didn't know what their faces looked like for the longest time until I saw them at an aquarium- it's hilarious because from the top they look so serious and sometimes grumpy but then you see their mouth and gills and they're completely different!! uvu

I was expecting something a bit more metaphorical from the title, though I can't say I'm disappointed.
