This motion creates tiny currents that draw in microorganisms, allowing these microscopic animals to feed efficiently and thrive in aquatic environments.

In the frame: 1. Bdelloid rotifers: (Phylum Rotifera, Class Bdelloidea), or simply bdelloids, are microscopic aquatic animals that are ubiquitous in soil, manure piles, rotting wood, decaying leaves, compost piles, old bracket fungi, living and dead mosses or lichens, and organic debris of all types. They are also common in almost all freshwater habitats and in some brackish water and marine habitats. 2. A “balcony tardigrade” is a user-submitted term for the microscopic “water bear” creatures f
