-They are shaped like little trumpets and they are made up of a single cell but some of them are large enough to be seen by naked eye. Usually found in ponds or lakes (freshwater environments) and remarkable for their regenerative power. There are green, blue and amethyst colored species.
+They are shaped like little trumpets and they are made up of a single cell but some of them are large enough to be seen by naked eye. Usually found in ponds or lakes (freshwater environments). '''Interesting feature''': they are remarkable for their regenerative power > when it is cut in half, each half is able to regenerate a half-sized cell that has its normal anatomy and will look the same way it did prior to being cut. There are green, blue and amethyst colored species.

+==='''Hydras'''===
+They are considered animals, predatory freshwaters microorgranisms; they can be found in ponds, lakek and other slow-moving waters. They feed on different creatures (e.g. insect larvae and small crustaceans) and they die only because of injuries, diseases, starvation or being eaten. '''Interesting feature''': they can develop a mutualistic relationship with algae > the hydra feed on things that would otherwise predate on the algae, while the algae produce photosynthetic compounds that can be utilized as a food source by the hydra. ♥️
