@BirdWhisperer46 How exactly do the rotifer's jaw work? I just posted a video of a rotifer mashing up an algal cell with its jaw, but how does it do that?
@PondWaterWorld There are several different kinds of mastax, or trophi and they work in different ways. Seach Google for "how do rotifer mastax work" and it will give a better explanation than I can. :o)

I cannot figure out what the small moving "oval organisms" are. Maybe chlamydomonas? Please i need help, i am doing a study at my college on zooplankton and pond life.
@DealinTy I don't know what they are. As yet, I have no decent high powered objective good enough to see them. I doubt they are chlamydomonas. More likely a ciliate, as they move too fast for flagellates. I have never actually found any information that even references the little guys.
Nice video. Did you notice that the first rotifer's jaw was moving rhythmically to the music? =^)

@PondWaterWorld I have noticed that before, but it's pure chance, as the music was added when I uploaded, long after the recording process. :o)

The quality is very good. I want to know what kind of adapter did you use for your T1i?

@BirdWhisperer46 The little organisms could be small Chilomonas.
