Vaginicola Feeding and Expelling Wastes

[billporter1456]

So you’re watching a Vaginicola (or Thuricola or Cothurnia) for a while and seen the contractile vacuole expelling water. Maybe you watch long enough to see food vacuoles forming and descending down into the body. But have you seen it expel wastes? I’ve watched dozens of Vaginicola over the past three years but I realized that I have never seen their waste elimination. So when I saw a Vaginicola today I decided to see if I could catch it getting rid of waste material. The result of my effort is this little video.
