Trichuris muris is a parasitic nematode affecting mice. Following ingestion, T. muris eggs hatch in the large intestine where they develop into adults. The anterior end of the worm burrows into the lining of the gut, leaving the posterior end protruding into the lumen of the gut. The worms mate in this orientation, and the resulting eggs are released in to the gut lumen and shed faecally.

Ragworms are segmented worms with long, flattened bodies, consisting of many segments. Each segment has a pair of parapods, or swimming legs. At the head end (shown in ths image) they have a toothed proboscis, four eyes, and two pairs of antennae. Ragworms are found predominantly in muddy shorelines and often used as fishing bait. They can live up to 3 years. Some species are considered an active predator, sifting through the mud and sand for small ocean creatures, others exist as scavengers.
