Bdelloid rotifers are microscopic organisms. Most are slightly too small to be seen by the naked eye, but this animated video from the University of St. Andrews gives you the perspective on these creatures from a rotifer themself!
Produced by staff and students at the University of St Andrews as part of the series ‘Thing of the Week’ and adapted for Glasgow Science Centre.
