Flatworm
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Platyhelminthes
Flatworms are a very diverse group of invertebrates. Instead of using specialized circulatory and respiratory organs, flatworms use diffusion to transport oxygen and nutrients throughout their body. Many flatworms are hermaphroditic, meaning they have both male and female reproductive organs.

The land where The Arboretum now grows has been home to plants and animals for thousands of years. It was home to Indigenous peoples long before settlers arrived. We recognize the traditional, ancestral, and treaty lands of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Attawandaron, and Mississaugas of the Credit peoples, as well as the Dish with One Spoon covenant covering the Between the Lakes Treaty 3 lands on which the University of Guelph and The Arboretum now sit. We are honoured to work on and care for this land.
