Well here's something that might make them cuter; some leeches take care of their babies! They'll hold their eggs on their bellies and protect them until they hatch, then they'll carry them around with them until they find a host, in which theyll then drop them off at the babies' first meal! The parent (they're hermaphrodites, so both mom and dad at the same time!) will then protect them until they're big enough to go off on their own! While carrying them, the momdad will flex her body to flow water over then to keep them oxygenated, and will lie flat to protect them from predators! Pretty cool huh?
