Watch Parmecia & Other Protozoans

Paramecia are examples of the ciliate phylum, unicellular protists that are found in all environments. Live-action photography captures the various ways these organisms move, reproduce, and feed. Unicellular protists far outnumber multicellular ones and include daphniae, Euplotes, Cryptomonas, stentors, Vorticellae, amoebae, Euglenae, brown and green algae, as well as trypanosomes and plasmodia that feed on humans and cause disease.
