Catenula Lemnae devours Protis.

Post by MASZEK »

I watched with curiosity as Cenanula Lemnae calmly patrolled her precinct.
He must have felt little Protis, because he reached him now from one side, now from the other.
It finally got him, and in two violent contractions, Protis was gone forever.
But little Rotifer, whom he met later, could not cope.
Nevertheless, it is a dangerous predator.

It looked like it got the protist by vacuum suction.
