Bursaria Truncatella 😍 🫶🏾❤️

"The Bursaria is a large protozoan and belongs to the Phyllum Ciliophora. It is from 500-1000 um long, has a wide mouth (top) and a deep gullet. It uses cilia for locomotion and to sweep food down into its gullet.

Bursaria feeds readily on a particular species of Paramecium called Paramecium bursaria.

When conditions are less than favorable, the Bursaria encysts (it turns into a hard shelled sphere) and waits out the time until favorable conditions return." - www.microscope-microscope.org
