Here is a video of a large Difflugia Corona (external link) followed by a Blimp sized Closterium. Not sure what this giant Closterium is called, but it's the largest one I have seen.

1. This is a normal sized Closterium. They are plants, however, they have the ability to move. It's quite shocking the first time you see one, to just start walking away. 400x

2. And this is Jumbo, the giant Closterium. 100x.

3. The small dots you see along the top and bottom edge are particles or nutrients that are travelling up and down the channels inside the plant, seen quite clearly in the video link above. 400x.

4. 400x

5. This is a stitch of 3 images to show it end to end, 400x. Click for very large view (external link).

Thanks for looking guys. At the microscopic level, there are a number of plants that can move around. The Euglena use a little whip like thing to either push or pull themselves along and these types use mucus they secrete, it sticks to thing, then they pull it back in to move forward or back, seeking the light. Very weird to watch them.

Hi Toby, Triffids walked with three little stiff legs, taptaptap......

It would make a great movie if made today, with say, the Avatar technology.
