I've recently gotten into microscopy as a hobby and comparing the relative size of microbes is really interesting. There are entire animals (tardigrades for one) which can be smaller than some single celled organisms.

There are even single celled organisms which will prey upon and eat multicellular animals.

Tardigrades are really cute.

Some call them water bears. I am not quite sure they look like bears (six leg bear?) but the stubbly legs are indeed cute.
