Bdelloid Rotifers: so common yet so weird!

An outstanding video!!! Probably the best video I've seen on bdelloid rotifers and much better than the ones I've done on them. The quality of the video images is excellent, the subject matter content is extensive and, as far as I can tell, completely accurate, and all of this within a relatively brief 4 minute time span. A couple of the captions were on screen a bit too briefly for my not very fast reading speed, but that is the only nitpicking I can think of to include. Thanks for sharing this.

Hello Bill, wow, thanks, that's too much credit! As microscopist I never appreciated much the rotifers because they just eat readily the other microorganisms that you would like to observe in a sample. But, once I read a bit about their weidnesses, I just became fascinated. The time span of the captions is always a struggle for me. I know they are often too brief, but I think they could be stopped usually easily with the space bar. The reason for this way is that the majority of people looks the vids approx 1-2 min at max... May be I am wrong and should add more seconds by the captions.

Brilliant video of a fascinating group of creatures rarely seen or appreciated for their beauty. Well done, and thank you for posting the video.

1:12- Ooooh! That's beautiful!!!

[@BernardJenni]

Thanks for your visit !

[@conterbernium]

That's quite amazing to see.. I say most notorious tiny creature..!

[@rberdan1]

Excellent video - rotifers are very interesting and beautiful to watch.

[@duggiebubble8964]

Wow! What an awesome video. Very informative and picture quality is superb. Thank you for uploading it.

[@BernardJenni]

Thanks for your interest and comment !

[@francischeefilms]

Sounds like you've done some neat science with these guys too.

[@beekeeperrotterdam7511]

how did you make this video, how did you get that superb illumination and colours

[@francischeefilms]

Plus it's a great piece of educational work!

[@claudianamiki3909]

An amazing video!!! Thanks!!

[@Grundalizer]

what microscope and camera was this taken with?

[@eneidamariaeskinazisantann3794]

Amazing video!

[@jimmiizzy6283]

How does one evolve the ability to complete the process of desiccation?

[@microscopeitaly]

great! what about your scope?

[@francischeefilms]

Great microscopy! Lucky to be using MALDI-TOF too!

[@GrayWolfx]

what type of microscope is it ?

[@lisagehrig7023]

how did you film it?

[@arthurgasca8777]

HERMOSOOO!!

[@dorasmith7875]

Very cool.

[@negoney8238]

Return to life.....

[@hayyanbaig5107]

Those bdelloids rotifers are some strange girls for sure

[@adhithyanmgopal1616]

Fuc it's awesome

[@KerpooHater]

One of my friends recorded the fat and plump ones eating moss.

[@tornado796]

they are cute

[@AlexandruCrudu]

They even survived 24k years :)

[@rbxwithelisaofficial3858]

Can they harm humans ?

[@woocash2526]

I don't know😁 either at the moment

[@BernardJenni]

Some Bdelloid rotifers exist that are plant/animal parasites, but not for humans. There is a media interest in scaring people with permafrost organisms. But in my opinion, even viruses that have been reactivated after thousands of years have already met humans in those distant times and we have evolved with them. I'm not sure that a super-bug will come this way.

just one the too many proofs the evolution has not scientific basis
