Placozoa: What is it?
These are small, multi-cellular animals only measuring about one to three millimeters in diameter were discovered in the 1880's inside an aquarium. Very little is known about these organisms.
Placozoans are small, flattened multicellular animals with only about four types of cells identified. Other than being flattened with a few layers, this animal has no regular shape or symmetry. No substantial organs or nervous system have been detected in placozoans.
Despite the simplicity of placozoans, they have been observed to eat, digest food, see, smell, move, grow, and reproduce.
Placozoans have been studied in laboratories but no fossil placozoans have been discovered, contributing to the mystery of this biological phenomena. Because little is known of their natural habitat, little is known about their living characteristics, including what they eat and how they reproduce.
Because of the lack of a fossil record for placozoans, the origin of these animals are unknown. It is also unknown why these animals did not evolve further with evolutionary time scales or how they have survived for these eons of time periods. While evolutionists claim that living things evolved from simpler organisms and continue to evolve, these animals seem to defy evolution.
Placozoans have the smallest amount of measured DNA of any animal.
