The Rotifer and his house
Although some have seen a caricature of a mouse, this is a rotifer, an aquatic microscopic invertebrate. Moving the cilia around the ears (hair-like structures) at full speed, it directs the surrounding food to the mouth. And it lives in a tube made of spherical bricks. You can see how one of these bricks is being formed inside the transparent body of the rotifer.
The American Charles Krebs has won the 2011 Olympus Bioscapes Digital Imagin Competition with this photo entitled "The 'mouse' roars".
