This is philodina rosea. A common resident of bird baths and other small freshwater pools, this devilish-looking creature is a tiny multi-cellular animal called a bdelloid rotifer. Although rotifers are often no bigger than their single-celled counterparts, they may contain up to 1,000 cells and sport some remarkable abilities. Most rotifers have a ring of hair-like cilia around their head that’s used for locomotion or catching prey, and bdelloid rotifers can use this crown to retract their head telescopically into their body. Each animal has one or two light-sensitive red spots that function as eyes, as well as a jaw-like structure for grinding food, called a mastax — together, the eyes and mouth give it a strikingly cat-like appearance.
