Stentor hunting for food

Here you can see a Stentor that is hunting for some food anf finally gets it. Watch how the stentor is turning around while hunting, just as he could see his victims. A Stentor is a ciliate and therefore a one celled animal. Phasecontrast technic.

cuando era adolescente hice un microscopio compuesto casero bastante potente, y podía ver muy bien a éstas criaturas en gotas de agua estancada así de grandes!...Es una verdadero espectáculo verlos cazar y tragar a sus presas, es tal cual se ve acá. Me trae varios recuerdos buenos y creo que debo armarlo de nuevo y empezar a usarlo mas seguido y seguir disfrutando de éstas maravillas de la vida.

wow that cell was fast 0:20

[@gubatus6347]

Yeah you are right

[@millionaireserb684]

I wonder what its name

[@alexjohnson3273]

what I don't get is how there was one organism that was eaten and then went back to the same area the predator was. Microorganisms these days, not learning their lesson...

[@Ronnie889]

I think you're right about it being Trachelomonas, just that you can't see any flagella because of it's size.

[@arriansalahuddin1386]

I almost saw a stentor and nematode

[@CartoJary]

what kind of microscope is this?

[@yveaszz]

Me dejaron tarea sobre las células con este video. ¡Saludos a 6to!

[@PondWaterWorld]

What species is this? And is it hunting Trachelomonas?

[@arriansalahuddin1386]

OH SHOOT NO ITS COMING

[@henrycgs]

man, just to think we were once like these. microscopic, mindless bubbles of oil trying to eat other bubbles of oil just so we could create more bubbles of oil.

[@kla4080]

No such thing

[@PondWaterWorld]

Could be any number of small unicellular algal species.

[@Ronnie889]

Maybe, you can't get the detail very well.

[@arriansalahuddin1386]

WORM

[@arriansalahuddin1386]
