Summary
Giant testate protists, the coolest things you have probably never heard of. Did you know there are giant cells on the deep seabed that can reach 20 cm or more? They build elaborate shells in lots of different shapes, and despite having known about them for hundreds of years, there’s still loads about them we don’t understand.
