Pretty amazing. A bit like swallowing a piraña!
Wonder how it managed that.

Thanks!
Unfortunately I did not see when it was eating!
I think it must immobilize coleps

I have spent hours watching, observing protozoa and not once have I even seen the lowly amoeba engulf anything well though one protist ingest another. Excellent shots there Carlos
