Single-celled organism Lacrymaria olor uses one of the most curious hunting techniques of all.
Its oval-shaped body measures around 40 micrometers and has a small protrusion at the end.
When it detects food, it stretches its neck out to around 30 times its own body length in order to grab prey that is far away.
How L. olor manages to do this without enormous tensile forces tearing its cell membrane has so far been a mystery.
