On this page: a short microscope movie showing swimming Spirostomum ambiguum protozoa.
In the movie you can see that one of the animals, after colliding with detritus particles, swims backwards. This is typical for 'ambiguum' (latin for 'go in two directions'). On the movie stills at left, the individual ment is indicated in red.
