GIANT MICROBES
EUGLENA (Euglena gracilis)
Warning! Do NOT get into any sort of game of Animal-Vegetable-Mineral with a Biology Teacher because YOU WILL LOSE! How can I be so sure? THEY CHEAT! Sure they may string you along for a few rounds, sort of like the way that a cat teases with a mouse, but when they want to and are ready, they will bite your head off. All it takes is EUGLENA. Oh, that's EASY...a single cell animal. It even has a whip-like flagella for swimming around relatively quickly. Ok, but it can also produce its own food through photosynthesis like a plant does. And...your head implodes. Extensively studied in the lab, the one thing I know for sure about EUGLENA is that Biology Teachers go bonkers when they discover that we have plush ones...and as an Astronomer, that's good enough for me!
All new materials ONLY
Stuffed with Polyester Fibers
Approximately 8 1/4" long (with its flagella, over 10" total), 2 1/2" wide, and 1 3/4" thick
Each Giant Microbes tag contains a photo of the actual microbe, taken through a microscope,
as well as educational and interesting information inside.
Giant Microbes--a million times actual size!
For anyone with a healthy sense of humor...and who always wanted a pet EUGLENA!!!
DOESN'T EVERYBODY?????
A NOTE ABOUT GIANT MICROBES: We carry almost the complete line of Giant Microbes products (including many retired designs) and have since the company first began. It is going to take a while for us to get them all up and listed on here but we ARE working on it. In the meantime...if you need any that we haven't listed on here yet, feel free to write and ask about our prices and availability. Yes, we usually have plenty!
IMPORTANT: When these are sent to us from Giant Microbes, depending on the quantity of our order, sometimes they are individually bagged and sometimes they are bulk bagged but NOT individually. When we mail yours out, each WILL be safely wrapped inside either a factory-sealed bag or a new plastic shopping bag to help protect it from the elements as it travels to you. As these are filled with polyester fibers, it can and will probably be packed tightly for shipping so if it appears a little "squished" when it arrives, it may just need to be shaken and "fluffed" upon removal from its mailing box. PLEASE, for the safety of your new friend, do NOT cut or puncture the box with any sharp objects!
These are original, fully licensed designs that I am selling for $19.95 each which includes free shipping to anywhere in the U.S. You
can combine this with other items that I am selling to receive a refund for each additional item after the first, once shipped. This
refund reflects my savings in postage fees by combining your orders and
is based on the total weight of the items. International buyers are eligible for the multi-item discount (WHEN YOU USE THE SHOPPING CART FEATURE AND PAY FOR ALL OF YOUR ITEMS IN A SINGLE PAYMENT!) and receive free shipping to the Global Shipping Program Center, but are responsible for all additional fees for postage, customs, tariffs, and/or other import charges. Any questions? Contact me.
