Coleps Video No. 1 This barrel-shaped ciliate is covered by a
layer of protective, calcareous plates and is commonly found in
freshwater. Coleps is a rapid swimmer, revolving as it travels
and using this motion to bore out chunks of other protozoans it
is feeding upon. Questions or comments? Send us an email. ©
