Single celled Lacrymaria olor Hunts Down Another Cell
This is a Lacrymaria olor hunting down another singlecelled organism. Look how precise and vicious it is, LOVING it . Lacrymaria olor is a beautifully named singlecelled organism, its name means tears of a swan. So poetic . Lacrymaria olor beats the hairlike cilia around its head and extends its neck up to 8 times its body length. If we were able to do that, it would be like flapping your ears rapidly and extending your neck to ground level from the fourth floor. What a scene . And can you see how it swallows the whole thing Ahh, I really cannot get enough of them So fascinating The prey was already killed when the head touched it because there are also toxin ejecting harpoonlike structures at the tip of the cell. They puncture the prey and killed it right away. Sometimes, if the prey is bigger, it gets away but loses a chunk of its body. .
