Philodina- kind of rotifer that live in fresh water environment. Interestingly even though these are microscopic they are still considered animals because of its amazing digestive tract and specialized organs. Check out the fast moving cilia on its mouth to draw water in.

Beautiful movie captured by students in our cohort from Telangana women PG college, India when they went exploring 😀
