My microbe pet under microscope

Just wanted to show you guys one of my pets, he is really nice and one of the smallest pets on the planet (0.2 mm long). He is actually a rotifer, a microbe who sweeps food into his mouth with coronal cilia - two tiny propellers creating current. Just watch him play and eat :)
If you liked Mic, let me know, I can film him more and upload other videos of him and his microscopic friends. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, that it's actually a female, but who cares :)

My buddy Maurizio likes him so much, so he played this music for Mic (my pets name)

@MysteryoftheGods You would need a decent microscope with a camera attached to it. The guy on the video passed away but he will be here on Youtube till the end of the latter :) LOL

He is so cute and funny. You are the first owner of a microbe pet, just amazing!! I am sure people will find this fashionable in the future and have pets like Mic!!!! I am so touched by this!

@irinisva Irini, you might be right about the future pets, who knows what genetics are up to these days. ))
