Vicious Microscopic Life

This is a Stentor coeruleus and it’s EXPLODING from being bitten by another single-celled organism! I wasn’t expecting that, never saw something small doing that to a giant Stentor. But you know what they say, there is a first time for everything! 😂 . I am not sure about the smaller organism species maybe a Prorodon, it was ’sucking’ a bit of Stentor’s membrane when I saw it and then it took me 30 seconds to start recording and right after I started to record Stentor just emptied its cytoplasm out! And I was like, Merlin’s Dirty Pants!!!! 😳 . Luckily, Stentors have crazy regeneration abilities and this one was able to fix itself in like 5 minutes. After discharging its cytoplasm its size got smaller but in a day or two it will just grow bigger again! . Life is crazy in microscopic scale, I am getting surprised by my little pond buddies everyday! They changed my life and they even made me a better man! Thanks for
