Leeches are segmented annelids known for their elongated, soft bodies and a distinct dorsal-ventral flattening. They possess both anterior and posterior suckers, which aid in locomotion and feeding. Many leeches are hematophagous, meaning they feed on the blood of other animals, using saliva that contains anticoagulants to prevent blood clotting. They can be found in various aquatic environments, as well as in moist terrestrial habitats.
