Hammerhead Flatworm
One of the more strange and colourful creatures I've even seen.
This is from Mulu national park, Borneo where we found this guy, a member of the genus 'Bipalium' which is a type of Hammerhead flatworm. Interestingly this one sported particularly impressive orange, black and yellow pattern.
It was interesting to find out this is a predatory worm which hunts, dissolves and eats its prey alive.
It was strangely a quick creature and almost moved more like a snake more than a worm.
