Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it accurately explains the entirety and life of Placazoans. It also gives an idea on how to collect and sample these gelatinous organisms, which I thought was cool.

Evaluate the article
The article begins explaining what exactly a Placazoan is. It then talks about how these animals have had thier entire DNA sequenced and put into many databases.Their environment and where they like to hide is also documented in this article, which is important information. Supposedly, these animals are still being studied and are being found in other various places as well. The habitats are explained very well in the article and it even talks about the seasonality of these organisms as well.The article then talks about how you should go about collecting these organisms. Placazoans have a very weak body so collecting them is very hard. This very article explains the pros and cons of certian collection methods which is good because it can allow people to use the one they think is best.

Overall the article is good but it can be improved by condensing the random places the organisms are found and by adding more details to how these organisms eat and live in different seasons. This article is well developed and theres many sources to back up the information present within the article.
