Project Noah Fact of the Day: Flatworms are found in marine, freshwater, and even damp terrestrial environments and have no true circulatory or respiratory system. The Canary worm is found in Tasmania and Australia. The bright yellow color is likely aposematic coloration, though it is not known whether this species is toxic. Its secretions do reportedly have a repugnant taste.
