Welcome to the habitat of microscopic invertebrates and organisms. Here, we will see: •Bacteria; the smallest and most simple of lifeforms. They are capable of basic life processes that let them live where others cannot. •Algae; the plant-like cells that thrive in any aquatic ecosystem. They build the foundation for herbivores that thrive in the microcosmos. •Paramecium; an extremely common cilliate that clones itself like a bacteria and actively moves around. They eat bacterium, but not algae. •Euglena; a hybrid between a plant and animal. They specialize their diet on all sorts of microfauna, including algae, as well as sunlight. •Amoeba; they have highly flexible cell membranes. Moving with a "false foot," they slowly engulf anything that they surround. •Nematodes; basic and simple roundworms that can be parasitic. These ones are the detritivores that clean up discarded waste products from other organisms. •Ostracoda; among the oldest of living crustaceans. They are highly adaptive, feasting on whatever can be eaten, quickly populating the microbial world. •Daphnia; as freshwater survivors, they can survive anywhere there is water. They are the larger filter feeders that predators prey on, in order to survive. •(Moe's) Tardigrade: The ultimate bypassers of extinction that are able to endure almost every disaster in their tun state. They cannot survive predation, however. •Cyclops; the diverse and flexible plankton that dominate the water. In this slide, they have no predators. However, they are not the apexes. •Hydra; apex predators that are closely related to jellyfish and anemones. They use their powerful cells in their tentacles to sting and catch large prey. More to come...
Updates: •9/20/2024: The name has been changed from "Infusoria Culture" to "MicroCosm ( o )" •9/19/2024: Daphnia now reproduce twice when given the chance to. •9/16/2024: Hydra. The apex predator. They eat everything except the copepods. •9/15/2024: Moe's tardigrade has been added in tribute to his work as an IO developer. It curls up in response to potential predators, except copepods and hydras. •9/14/2024: Nematode movement made more realistic. •9/11/2024: Colored backgrounds. Press the screen or mouse down to activate it. •9/10/2024: Several new organisms have been featured and added. •9/2/2024: Release. Incomplete.
