Seguimiento de la desaparición de un iceberg antártico gigante

“Brrrrrrrrrrrrr brrrr brrrr” and I am sorry for my song choice for this clip! 😂
.
This is a SUPER fast single-celled organism, a Halteria. Halteria looks like a golf ball with hair, and it uses the hair to move around and to feed! In this clip, I managed to hold Halteria still under the cover glass so I can get a closer look at it.
.
Halteria is around 20 microns (a millimeter is 1000 microns) and it can swim 2 millimeters in a second which is like 100 times of its body length in just a second. If Usain Bolt could do that he would be running at a maximum speed of 195 meters per second instead of 10.44 meters per second! It’s really fast! You can see the hair-like structures Halteria use to achieve this amazing speed!
.
Halteria feed on bacteria, and they reproduce pretty quickly in my samples. Sometimes I get thousands of them in a drop, I cannot see anything because of their roughhousing!
.
If you enjoy my posts, you can encourage me to post more by supporting me monthly as little as $1. The link is in my bio. ❤️

Thank you so much for reading!
