  • Shown here are cnidocyte stingers that hydra use to capture prey and defend predators. When prey are near, hair-like triggers called a cnidocil are activated and can discharge toxins in microseconds.

  • Repost from @nomadic_nostoc - Tardigrade feasting on Chlorella (1000x Mag. Brightfield. Normal speed. Olympus CX43) This Tardigrade (Hybsius) is hungry and just found the right snack. Hybsius is a vegetarian Tardi. It pokes the membrane of the algae (Chlorella) with it’s stillet organ and slurps the contents right out of the cell. What a cold blooded murderer... But look at its cute paws! And look at its cute round mouth! Aren’t tardigrades cute? I’m really happy about this footage! I never dreamt of getting a shot like this at 1000x magnification. Thank you Olympus.
