Tardigrade be like "Eh ! Get away from me you hairball ! It bloody tickles !" Paramecium be like "Left,Right,Forward,Predator, Backward, Left, Left,Forward, Predator, Predator,Backward, Right,Forward..."

The tardigrade isn't moving as much as the paramecium because it has trouble walking on glass. It climbs better when there's lichen or moss, ya know, it's natural habitat.
:) Thanks for sharing. It really gives a good perspective with regards to size. :) I've been hunting tardigrades for a while now and still they allude me.
This video was really helpful because I’ve been trying so hard to find a tardigrade but I haven’t had anything to reference their size to. I’ve been finding lots of parameciums so now I know how big tardigrades are. Thanks!
I started to question if other, smoother looking pictures of this creature were real considering how small they are and how detailed something that small can be. This here breaks the bubble for me. Real deal!
+Wade Stubblefield The other pictures are with an elctron microscope, which is why it doesn't look transparent, as it does with optical microscope images like the above.
Yep the other pics are from an SEM and this is just an optical microscope. you can see for them yourself with a water sample, usually lab supplied, and a microscope with 100x magnigication.
Wow, I know nothing but the little tartigrade's sort of internal organ looks like another one cell thing just like the paramecium. If our flash and tissues are made of cells and this guy's internal organ is the size of a cell, what are his other parts made of? His little nails, his legs? His eyes? that super slim lines that seem to blink? Also comes to my mind, what are the "organs" inside cells made of? protein chains? is that the same case with the tartigrade's body and legs? How he moves them? Wow... thanx for the video.
Cells come in a lot of different sizes. A typical paramecium is about 200 to 300 micrometers long. That's 10 times larger than a human skin cell (25 to 30 micrometers across) and about 40 times larger than a red blood cell (6-7 micrometers across) or a hundred times larger than an e.coli bacteria (2 micro meters long, .5 wide). Meanwhile the scientists may have discovered a giant amoeba in the deepest part of the ocean that grows to over 2 inches wide. Still, it's considered a single cell (one nucleus, one cell membrane). Tardigrades are made of cells, just really fine ones. You can google "tardigrade anatomy" for some illustrated charts.
Water bears are incredibly interesting and so is this video! Thanks so much. I subscribed. I'm going to share some of these videos on my social media..they're great!
If you could eat it this one is just not hungry they have tiny Beaver like teeth used to stab it into the Oblivion prey and drink the cell contents like a single-celled milkshake someone actually do rip it apart and some tardigrades even suck up and swallow entire single-celled creatures like a vacuum cleaner but this one is too big for that
Paramecium is a jerk! It looks as if he's taunting Water Bear by showing off his grace & speed, tapping Water Bear & rushing away, coming back to do it again & rush away.
Dr. Wagner, I went to your website and have spent far too long looking at your microscopy images, after my Sphagnum comment! I was thrilled to find that you are responsible for the image of the Coleochaete orbicularis on the front cover of the beautiful book Green Universe, that I bought last year. Wonderful stuff!
Thank you. That was an easy job. Just put a slide for two weeks in a pond and you will see then a ööot of perfect preparated algae or animals on the slide.
600x is more than enough. I have identified at least 3 (probably 5) different species here in one small area; Western Maryland in the US. In my 10 gallon aquarium I have a floating moss covered chunk of wood I call Tardy bear island. Hundreds of them live on it. Happy hunting.
I don't completely get how is a unicellular paramecium almost as big as a multi-cellular tardigrade (which actually counts as an animal, by the way). Is the paramecium a giant cell or are tardigrade cells extremely tiny? And how/why does this happen?
Awww, poor guy looks pinned down between the glass plates. Probably not enough to injure it, but it's middle looks kind of stuck, and you can see his back feet try to gain purchase against the glass. :S Paramecium don't care. He's a balloon, he just squashes flat and glides against the slippery glass. ;3
The water bear! I watched a higher quality microscopic video fo the thing and they are just little bugs, these videos squish them down and make them look different IMO!
Moss. Collect samples of moss from various places. Try to get it from places that have not been exposed to insecticide; stay away from kept lawns and cultivated land. If the moss is dry soak it with distilled or spring water (NOT tap water!) and Break it up, mix it around and then squeeze all the water out of the moss by hand. the Tardy bears will be in the water. I have a 200x electronic micriscope that plugs into the TV and you can get a hand held 200x optical microscope pretty cheap.
Thank you for fast answer. I have got another question. Imagine situation like this: I am hunting for tartigrades therefore I rub some moss on petri dish filled with water. I don't have access to stereo microscope- only compound one. Do I need to prepare every sample (drop by drop) as it should be done till petri is empty? Can't I just place whole petri dish filled with water under objective lenses and move it around? (I think this would make my hunting either more efficient, faster or less tedious) will it influence magnificent or resolution of the image?
+ZsForZubat Yes, it looked like the tardi already had a paramecium inside and the other paramecium seemed to be trying fruitlessly to interact with its slowly-digesting peer. Just a guess :)

Fate Falcon THANK YOU FOR ADDING YOUR COMMENT. WHY ARE WE YELLING?
But without eyes, how can it see.
That moment when you mistake the water bear digestive tract for a consumed paramecium. *utter confusion*
regemo Wonder if it's caused by endosymbiosis a looooooooooooong time ago.
+erksp It isn't unlikely.
The paramecium hears its friend calling for help from inside
@@erksp7961 you made me think
Dude even me!
Waterbear "legs" are not muscular or neuroligically controlled. It operates very much like a paramecium but with fat, clawed sensory cilia.
intrasding
Water bears are pretty cute. I was waiting for it to eat the other one the whole time though
I had no idea they were even the same "magnitude"! I mean, the paramecium is just one cell and its size is comparabe to a whole tardigrade.
I mean..arent cells eggs too?
I mean like aren't eggs just one cell...
@@Nutt_lemmings read up on biology you don't even make sense.
@@gwentarinokripperinolkjdsf683 so it isn't one cell.
@@mineteam0 Eggs undergo meiosis first.
...It can't swim, becuz you flattened it with your fukin glass!
The tardigrade is confined (and probably not very comfy) due to pressure from the cover slip.
Mike Russell or was it eaten?
Awww, looks like he already had something to eat.
I find this extremely fascinating! I love the unseen universe under the microscope.
commission a sitcom with these 2 fellas right now.
Netflix would pick it up.
The tardigrade isn't moving as much as the paramecium because it has trouble walking on glass. It climbs better when there's lichen or moss, ya know, it's natural habitat.
That Paramecium Bursaria really wants to be friends apparently.
Thats pretty bad when you get bullied from a paramecium.. :p

I think the lil fuzzball is just curious
waterbears are great as pets. they can withstand any negligence.
:) Thanks for sharing.
It really gives a good perspective with regards to size. :)
I've been hunting tardigrades for a while now and still they allude me.
they are KIND of showing the behaviors of dogs getting to know each other.... super super super awesome
yeah, it's just like a dog and a Roomba

+murrfeeling Interesting. If I recall correctly, 5mm wide amoebae are relatively common and can be found in gardens, etc.
5mm maybe but if I am not wrong 2 inches are 5cm ^-^
Sooo cute! Amazing how they don’t collide with each other.
I cannot wait for the day we get to see these guys in more detail.
still a better love story than twilight.
wrr

THESE ARE MICROSCOPIC ORGANISMS COME ON PEOPLE
a tardigrade is a bit smaller then half a letter on a penny, so if u have very good eyes you might be able to see him
It's like one of those videos where like a squirrel makes friends with a big dog or some such.
That was pretty cool, it was like a small dog sniffin out a big dog except all cellular.
Wow, tardigrades are even smaller than I thought...
Very cool. Thanks for posting.
Wonderful video! Such a clear look at the tardigrade and paramecium
Adorable!!!!!
Beautiful friendship footage of microscopic world
That thing knows better than to mess with the water bear
Wow! Darving even attached little legs to these creatures.. Wow..
amazing example of animal friendship
Tardigrades are so cool! They can survive the most extreme circumstances. And they're kind of cute, too.
I like your Top Videos
Multi-cell masterrace.
I don't think that paramecium knows WHAT to do with that tardigrade - it's so much bigger than it!
Paramecium is a jerk! It looks as if he's taunting Water Bear by showing off his grace & speed, tapping Water Bear & rushing away, coming back to do it again & rush away.
But none of that matters when the paramecium shrivels and dies in the vacuum of space, while the water bear stands ther chillin B)
Tardigrade, in WC Fields voice, “Go away boy, you bother me!”
You guys HAVE to look at the Wikipedia page for these! The pictures are totally adorable!!! :)
what are those round things moving in his body?
cheetos
i would say food vacuoles
Legs
swiffer jet mops
Organelles
New video, a water bear (Tardigrade) playing with a Paramecium bursaria

hey...i've seen videos of a tardigrade eating a nematode..just wondering if it's c. elegans? how big is a water bear in comparison to a p. pacificus?
They seem so coordinated and intentional..
Really cool, eh! I am a keen amateur microscopist myself and I love this channel. I done a few videos, too, and finds it really fun! Cheers!
It is kind of adorable
it's fascinating to know how big is a cell of paramecium compared to the waterbear which is a multicellular animal....
So cute 900th like

yeah i was wondering that too.. tardigrade has 40000 cells but pramecium has 1.. but the size is almost the same
Tardigrades like, ''gettin real tired of your shit dude, I just met you 2 minutes ago, get, the fuck, away!''
Cute!!!! :)
Well show. Good information.
Soo cute
Very nice video! Where do you find your water bears?
Paramecium IS THE BEST EVER PET
Just get some water from a lake or something and you'll probably get a lot of them
- Eat me!
- F*ck off!
- Well, eat me, please!
- Well, f*ck off, please!! XDD

Great friendship
The tables have turned, mr. water bear
That Paramecium is evil, teasing the poor water bear like that...
Is a tardigrade single or multicellular?
Paramecium desperately tries to find a way to free his friend from a Tardigrade's midgut
What has he eaten?!?!?
Looks like the poor tardigrade is stuck between the glass plates.
What pokemon is this???
el gallo I'm hoping this is a joke... -^- its science not Pokemon...
el gallo It's tardigroove, the smallest Pokémon. Not only is it the smallest, but it's also a legendary Pokémon.
no it is not a POKEMON
To be fair it's close to a riuniclus
Pikachu
What did the Tardigrade say to the Paramecium when he bumped into him? "It's a small world" :)
Thank you for fast answer. I have got another question. Imagine situation like this: I am hunting for tartigrades therefore I rub some moss on petri dish filled with water. I don't have access to stereo microscope- only compound one. Do I need to prepare every sample (drop by drop) as it should be done till petri is empty? Can't I just place whole petri dish filled with water under objective lenses and move it around? (I think this would make my hunting either more efficient, faster or less tedious) will it influence magnificent or resolution of the image?
the microscope probably kind of squeezes the tardigrades
yea as long as you don't mind not seeing them a lot!
Hi Dr. Ralf Wagner, can you please make a video Tardigrade inside boiled water?
Water bears are so cute! I'd smooch them if I was small enough.
Aww, Tardypoo doesn't look like he likes it very much. 🙁
that's a weird-looking bear right there
Looks like he already has one in his 'stomach'.
paramecium: Aye yo who man's is this?
Did it recently eat? I see another cell inside it, or at least that what it looks like.
+ZsForZubat Yes, it looked like the tardi already had a paramecium inside and the other paramecium seemed to be trying fruitlessly to interact with its slowly-digesting peer. Just a guess :)
That might be the digestive system.
How do those things move? Not the waterbear but the other thing
It has legs. How did I get to this part of RUclips?
I am not sure if the paramecium that move fast or tardigrade one that stays in 1 place.
This is so cute. (I'm using sister's profile)
Paramacium be like... Can you move like me bro?
Very nice video. Maybe they wanted to communicate.
The paramecium seems a lot more mobile than the tardigrade, or is it because it's squished under the glass?
It is a bit squished under the coverslip
Are you using phase contrast or simple bright field?
will it evolve in the future?
cute
Oh okay, thanks :D
I was expecting a serious battle.
What do they eat?
😅😅😅😅well information good show 😅😅😅
They didn't even say hello to each other
what are the little like pellets that the tardigrade has in his body?
Those are the tartigrate's cells.
