Rotifer escapes heliozoan. Light microscopy footage of the escape of a Synchaeta pectinata rotifer trapped by an Actinosphaerium eichhorni heliozoan (spherical). Heliozoa (sun-animalcules) are unicellular eukaryotic micro-organisms, classed as protists. They have long stiff actinopodia that they use to capture their prey, which can include rotifers. Rotifers are microscopic aquatic animals that are related to roundworms. These specimens are in a pond water sample from Berlin, Germany. | |
