Climb aboard the Cyclops, a microscopic research vessel, and investigate an amazing hidden world on which all living things depend. The Cyclops houses a team of scientists known as the Micronauts and guides them through their discoveries of biological classification, diversity, and ecology. In this clip, the Micronauts explore the vast populations of filter feeders in the open waters of ponds. While exploring, they must escape the powerful feeding currents of these filter feeders. During this adventure, they also explore the special adaptations of algae and water fleas. Part 1 of the Microscopic Monsters Series.
