I found this organism recently in some fresh water. I have not seen anything like it. It looks like a tiny amoeba with very long pseudopodia but at the ends of the pseudopodia, there are flagella-like hairs that looks smaller than most bacteria. Sorry for the focus, I kept shifting it so you could see the hairs and the overall shape.

It was feeding on that blob of material before this video was shot.
