Slightly macabre, but really interesting.

At first I was getting confusued as to who was sucking whom, but it became clear.

The coordination of the cytoskeleton required is really fascinating.

Fabulous! What do you think Francisco? Prorodon?

Thanks
Carlos, I think it's about Holophrya, possibly H. nigricans.

Amazing footage. I wonder if it killed the rotifer or that it is a scavenger.

Thanks for your comment
I think he's just a scavenger.
