rotifers

these days since i find myself in a lot of sedge habitats, i am also finding myself on the shores of marshes and beaver ponds and it's always fun to take a sample of water to look at later.

here's a bit of video of some rotifers. apparently they are all hanging onto each other by their feet (they each have one foot) and the rotation of their cilia paddles them around in a circle.

nature is freaky.
