Leeches have a segmented body structure, typically divided into 34 segments. Their bodies are elongated and can range in color from greenish to brown or black, with a soft, flexible texture. Each leech has a anterior (front) end with a sucker for attachment and feeding, and a posterior (rear) end with another sucker used for locomotion. They lack a rigid skeleton, allowing them to stretch and contract as they move through their environment.
