Hi everyone!

This colouring page is based on one of my newer drawings, the flattened testate amoeba.

For a long time, I thought the testate amoebas I saw in the microscope were shaped like little balloons. It wasn’t until I saw one turn over that I realized many are actually flattened like a little coin purse.

Testate amoebas in water can be bigger, more rounded, and with fancy ornaments on their shells. In the harsher soil environment though, it makes sense that they would be more practical, compact, and compressed.

Here’s a preview of the new colouring page. The printable file is just below. Hope you like it!
