Leeches have adapted to aquatic environments through several physiological and behavioral traits. They possess a streamlined, elongated body that helps them navigate through water efficiently. Their ability to secrete mucus allows them to glide smoothly and reduces friction, while specialized structures, like suckers, enable them to anchor themselves to surfaces and maneuver effectively. Additionally, leeches can respire through their skin, allowing them to absorb oxygen directly from the water.
