     Within the small plastic container is a small organism that seems to move by muscle contractions. The muscle contractions move along the body laterally allowing it to inch across the container. The organism stays on the perimeter of the container and when put in the middle it inches back out to the edge. The organism is a tan color and seems to be mostly see through. There are rings on the body that go around the entire circumference of the body. They seem to be evenly spread out. Also there is something that goes from the tip of the body all the way to the tail. It looks as though it may be a neural cord of some kind or it could be a digestive track. On the front of the body there is a black section at the very tip which may be the sensory system of the organism. There are two brown spots on the back of organism.
