Question by Ace: What worm (or other animal) is brown and has a fan-shaped head?
We were hiking twin falls in Maui in Hawaii and on a wet rock in a river bed we found this worm-looking animal slithering along at a very slow pace. It was pretty small. Probably just a few millimeters in diameter and about 4 inches long (sorry for the mixed units). Most importantly the “head” was just a fan-looking thing. Any idea what this animal is?
