What this page needs is a picture or diagram of a common planaria.
[edit] Reconciliation of Taxon and Picture
I gave this page a proper taxobox, but then realized that the genus name of the picture caption is in conflict with the taxonomic info I put down. The source I'm using is www.itis.usda.gov and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of info out there for the Schmidtea genus, but I don't want to just go and change it. Anyone who has more info than I (possibly the originator of the picture) is more than welcome to try and fix this inconsistency. Cerealkiller13 05:26, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
I've just found a almost feet long planarian in my kitchen in Santa Barbara, California.
[edit] Regenerate
Regenerate
Scientists are trying despiratly to find a way to regenerate limbs in humans. One creature that can regenerat even half of its body in a couple of days is the planaria. My class did an experiment on planaria. The experiment was if you put different pollutants in the water where the planaria lived, whould it change their regeneration rate. In my before sentence, by mistake I avoid the number 2, so the size of the planarian I have found in Santa Barbara, Ca, is almost 2 feet long.
