👉 Sclerosomatinae are a group of organisms characterized by their flattened, elongated body shapes and thickened skin that is often covered in scales or other appendages. These animals are typically found in freshwater habitats such as lakes and rivers, where they feed on aquatic plants and algae. Sclerosomatinae have evolved to be highly adapted for survival in these environments, with a focus on minimizing their exposure to predators and avoiding excessive water usage.
