a worm has 50 points in his whole body
This is one of the strangest creatures ever discovered. Scientists uncover new species of flatworm that is unique. These unique animals have 50 to 60 eyes, which are all crammed in a mini body, only 12 millimeters long.

These animals are found in a meadow near Cambridge, England, dubbed "the most documented in the face of the earth".

Worm was discovered by Brian Eversham, executive director of the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Northamptonshire.

Invertebrates were initially regarded as odd Antipodean descent, as well as close relatives of species found in Northern Ireland called Kontikia Andersoni.

"I take pictures of wildlife on a Sunday morning and then move on to pieces of wood, and find it funny worm," he said as published by the Daily Mail.

Eversham added that he found a worm-like worm that is found in Northern Ireland. "The UK is the best country to document the wildlife, it is not unusual to find species that have never before seen here," he said.

Moreover, the UK, he added, unlike the tropical countries and regions are less well known in the world where millions of species have not been documented.

Or New Zealand to be a "center" the diversity of flatworms, the climate is very similar happened with England.

While the relevant Biologist, Dr Hugh Jones believes it is a species of creatures who are completely new, which has never been described before.

Dr Jones, a scientific partner British Museum of Natural History, said he saw only one other example of a similar worm, a single species found in the Netherlands last April.

Meanwhile, as published by the BBC, Jones hopes soon to investigate the species by studying the animal's sex. "That's the best diagnostic tool when identifying the flatworms," he said.
