Great video! I was looking at some of these a couple of days ago but couldn’t get them to stay in focus long enough to get a decent video 😦

I took that in fairly cool weather, maybe they were sluggish?
I believe you can add glycerin (from the supermarket) to slow the animacules down a bit although I haven’t tried it myself.

There is a classic science fiction story called Surface Tension by James Blish that has tiny intelligent creatures battling rotifers. A great read!

Tiny humans those were, in the Blish story. Good story.
Love the movie, Penny. Thanks. Here in Oklahoma, the rotifers are different, and I need to get some stills and movies up on my webserver to show them.

Oh yes! I’d love to see some US rotifers. All the rotifers I’ve seen so far have been this chubby variety. Rotifer vulgaris I believe.
