Sorry for the dizzying motion of this video, but this guy was moving fast. This is a flagellate which means it has a tail. This is an organelle mainly used for propelling the organism through the water. This one is harder to see, but it does have one. This one organism is called a peranema which follows its tail and uses it like a propeller. This was quite cool! I found it in a pond in my backyard.
