What do leeches do to humans and animals?
Leeches are annelids comprising the subclass Hirudinea. There are freshwater, terrestrial, and marine leeches. Like the Oligochaeta, they share the presence of a clitellum. Like earthworms, leeches are hermaphrodites. Some, but not all, leeches are hematophagous.Haemophagic leeches attach to their hosts and remain there until they become full, at which point they fall off to digest. A leech's body is composed of 34 segments. They all have an anterior (oral) sucker formed from the first six segments of their body, which is used to connect to a host for feeding, and also release an anesthetic to prevent the host from feeling the leech. They use a combination of mucus and suction (caused by concentric muscles in those six segments) to stay attached and secrete an anti-clotting enzyme, hirudin, into the host's blood stream.

What do leeches eat in the wild?
Most leeches will eat an entire earthworm whole! But they ALL have a passion for blood. I'm not recommending it, but you can take your pet leech and let him leech of you, your dog/cat/hamster/whatever for about 20 minutes until he/she gets full. They only consume a few cc's of blood, but you have to be careful as they may be carrying diseases...
