An amoeba hunting for food II

Species name: Amoeba (Vannella)

AL-Museum AL-Museum

When a ciliate or flagellate accidently runs into the amoebas body, two pseudopodia tightly grasp the unlucky prey and transfer it to the central part. At first the prey struggles to get free, but soon stops moving. Finally the prey loses its shape and becomes unrecognizable.
