Ciliates

      Ciliates are a group of protozoans characterized by the presence of hair like organelles called Cilia. These things can be found in almost any habitat that involves water, like in soil, hot springs, and Antarctic sea ice. They feed on bacteria, algae, and detritus. They are usually found as an oval shape with tiny hairs on the end of them.
