Bdelloid rotifer... of some kind 100x

#1 Post by Lilly Begonia » Mon Feb 26, 2018 3:19 pm

I've been scouring the web for this one, and cannot find anything quite like it. Nothing I've seen has that barrel like mid-section. It gets around with the push-off kind of locomotion and inches along. I believe it to be a variety of Bdelloid rotifer, but of course I could be wrong.
