diego_fontaneto's Identifications

These were taken at 400x total magnification. A bunch of euglena were surrounding her mouth and side until she lysed, right where they were gathered. Did they break her open? She was alive before, and even the baby's jaws were moving at times until they both streamed out and were eaten. Really cool to watch
