We have already filmed previously this onlooker rotifero.
It is Rotaria neptunia.
With a foot of three straight hooks it is fixed to the substratum and its size can stretch more than five times.
We observe clearly its red eyes sensitive to the light.
We it have found in a freshwater course of the department of San Jose - Uruguay - South America.
Effects of free sounds of Internet.
Oblique light, darkfield, polarized light
