Cave of the Giants

From my mud puddle sample, I extracted what looked like a large lump of gelatin.
This turned out to be a gradually decaying leaf with much of its cell structure intact.
When I examined the lump, I found a lot of water movement, nothing was settled.
The reason for the disturbance was that the leaf was the home of micro-gargantuans.
It was the cave of the giants.

I watched the video and I will say there are some giants in there.
I also liked the music you put with it.

Thanks Steve.

Nice video Don. I recognized a rotifer and a nematode, but don't know what (kind of worm?) the third giant was.

Looks like the giants like to keep the skeletal remains of other microbes around. Great video!

Thanks guys. There are always skeletal remains in a biofilm. Creatures tend to get stuck in them like micro qicksand.
