Ribbon worms, also known as Nemerteans, are fascinating soft-bodied creatures found in oceans, freshwater, and even moist land areas. They are known for their long, slender, and stretchy bodies that can extend several times their own length. Some species are only a few millimeters long, while others, like the famous Lineus longissimus, can grow over 30 meters, making them some of the longest animals on Earth. Their bodies are smooth, colorful, and flexible, giving them a ribbon-like appearance that inspired their name.
