Pond safari: Photographer captures incredible images of the microscopic creatures found inside a SINGLE drop of water
These slimy creatures may look like aliens from another planet but they are actually the life teeming inside a single drop of pond water.
The colourful organisms were captured using a photography technique called high-definition microscopy in a lab in Ohio by photographer Peter Matulavich.
The pond safari pictures show everything from a single-celled paramecium organism moving through bacteria to a defecating 10mm creature called hydra and a cluster of Euglena Protozoa that are seen in such high numbers they have been known to make entire ponds and puddles appear green or red.
