What do leeches look and feel like?

Leeches are elongated, soft-bodied creatures that typically range from a few centimeters to several inches in length. Their bodies are segmented, often displaying a dark brown or greenish color, and they have a smooth, slimy texture due to a mucous coating. When handled, leeches can feel slippery and somewhat rubbery, with a slight resistance as they move. They possess suckers at both ends, which they use for attachment and movement.
