A Children's Primer For Amoebas


See Moe.
See Moe's amorphous body form pseudopodia.
Locomote using pseudopodia, Moe, locomote using pseudopodia!

Moe is hungry.
Hungry, hungry Moe.
Time for phagocytosis.

Watch Moe.
Watch Moe grow.
Watch Moe's DNA replicate.
Watch Moe's outer cellular wall invaginate, splitting Moe into two daughter cells.
Watch Moe undergo cytokinesis.

Now there are two Moes.
Moe sees Moe.
See Moe See Moe.
Go, Moe, Go!
