Flukes are a type of tapeworm that is parasitic. They have suctioned mouths and are generally not segmented. Most are only a few centimeters long.
Flukes have a parasitic ecological relationship with their hosts, often living in the digestive, circulatory, or respiratory system of animals. They can cause harm to their hosts and impact their health and fitness. Flukes may also serve as intermediate hosts for other parasites, completing their life cycle and spreading infection.
Planarians are free-living flatworms, flukes are parasitic flatworms that infect various host animals, and leeches are blood-feeding segmented worms.
they get there oxygen from their flukes.........
Sheep can get endoparasites such as gastrointestinal nematodes (e.g., Haemonchus contortus), coccidia (e.g., Eimeria species), and liver flukes (e.g., Fasciola hepatica). These parasites can negatively impact the health and productivity of sheep if not properly managed through preventive measures and treatment.

Snails typically live in moist environments like ponds, rivers, and gardens. Blood flukes, on the other hand, require a specific freshwater environment to complete their lifecycle, often found in regions with poor sanitation and contaminated water sources.
What are blood flukes?
There are many types of flukes for different animals. In humans, we can be infected with a couple of types of liver flukes, a lung fluke, and blood flukes.
Flukes are a type of tapeworm that is parasitic. They have suctioned mouths and are generally not segmented. Most are only a few centimeters long.
the liver fluke worm lives in the liver and the bile ducts of domestic animals and humans
Some are e.g. liver flukes, but others are not e.g. a whale's fluke.
Trematodes, or flukes, are flat, leaf-shaped, and range in length from a few millimeters to 75 millimeters. Intestinal flukes are primarily found in the Asian continent.
They live in small snails in water, usually still water, but also slow moving streams.
They depend on the host organism to digest their food from them.
Members of the family of animals called "Cetaceans".
flukes inhabit the elk veins and feed off of them, causing harm
