👉 Dichelura is a family of small, aquatic animals that includes fish, crustaceans, and invertebrates such as amoebae, which are present in many environments. They have a similar structure to both land-based animals and plants but lack a backbone or vertebral column. Some species within this family are known for their ability to survive low light conditions by using a specialized pigment called chitin, which is found in their exoskeletons.
