ROTIFERS
"In a microscope, the tiny rotifers look
like they have a wheel attached to their front ends. The wheel
is actually a little circle of filaments, and it is used to
enable the animals to swim and to feed. The beautiful glass
model specimens you see were actually crafted by
artists working at the American Museum of Natural History in
the 1930s."
