I’ve heard that some Slime Molds exist as giant single cell organisms, so these might have acted similarly.

Otherwise, I’m not sure that I’ve heard of a viable single celled organism that’s that large.

That’s a pretty large grape–over an inch wide.

It’s just like an ostrich egg.

Eggs are a single cell… And they can be pretty big…

Clear as mud right now…have to read it when I’m not so tired…maybe it will become clear…Okay probably not : D

I don’t understand how something so big could be just one cell. Then again, I’m no biologist…

So what would the inside of a creature like that even look like?
