Any paramecium experts here? Can you explain this behavior?

Looks like it may be clumping prior to conjugation

Forum member Bill Porter may have the answer:

Zeiss Standard WL (somewhat fashion challenged) & Wild M8
Olympus E-P2 (Micro Four Thirds Camera)

Very interesting behavior, if not mysterious, at least to me. Thanks to 75RR to giving some possible insight as to what these guys are up to. I'm guessing you did not watch to the end to see happened? :lol: Cheers. -Norm

Thank you for sharing this video. I'm impressed by their pliability and energy, as well as what seems like more complex behavior (maybe?).
