[dabigjokeoftheday]

you cooked it!

[hiroshir]

Dang sir that was really entertaining - Thanks for posting ur awesome.

[HisHinata]

meh heh heh... some day that rotifer will come back for revenge. And you probably won't notice =P

[fabrosin]

I wish to have a microscope like that.what is the magnification and the make of it??Would you give some information please?

[propinquity5]

It is a Chinese made 1600X, oil immersion, research microscope.

In China, about $350.00

.....and I might add, every inch as good as a Zeiss.  Really.

Email privately for additional information.

@propinquity5 Holy smacks where can I buy one online?

[drmcgray]

When i pull lichens off of our tree and hydrate it, these critters show up along with various other protozoans and water bears.

The rotifer didn't die... at least, not then... they can dry up and survive *nine years* without water... absolutely amazing animals.

[NeoNoggie]

Wow Rodrigo, you're a fucking retard.

[RodrigoMera]

do this kind of life have any rights?... i think this rotifer is being tortured...

[Phacias]

Protista and bacteria have not got any rights because they reproduces very fast. (in Protista i mean micriscopical animals too)

[rbairos1]

If its any consolation theres a very high probability it lacks any mechanism through which it can experience pain.

[dhicks3]

I work in a rotifer research lab, and I can say that rotifers have, at best, chemosensory capabilities, but higher organizing networks seem to have been lost. They are very useful in ecological studies as indicators of good water quality.

Also, rotifers are not protists or bacteria, they are true animals like us.

[Commander1keller]

Rotifers aren't even aware that there alive. idiot

[Ozarkeree]

Somehow, I get the impression HisHinata wasn't serious >__>

[jessemartijn]

@Commander1keller

they do for sure! although not as much as we do, but they surely do.. they don't have like 15 brain cells for nothing....

[Commander1keller]

@jessemartijn First of all, Rotifers can't have brain cells, they're unicellular. They do have a brain, but not one that has cells. Secondly, they don't really think like we do, there not conscious, so therefore they are unaware of their existence.

[jessemartijn]

@Commander1keller

they are surely not unicellular. they're too big for that. it has guts, a complete system of it, as we do :) you should look at them closer... if you even have the chance at least..

[margmast]

poor little rotifer... :(

[SidusInteractive]
