The '''snatching speck''' split from its ancestor the [[Chlorocytus|chlorocytus]] and doubled in size. In addition to swimming, its flagella are now used to grab prey and force them into its mouth, which is found at the base of the flagella. The cell is much more elastic, allowing it to swallow prey its own size whole.
