What's Shaped Like A Pear And Has 2 Genomes? Check The Pond for Tetrahymena thermophila. If you could peer microscopically into the closest freshwater pond, you'd hesitate before dipping a toe. Amid the murky water, you'd probably notice an oddly furry, pear-shaped organism gliding along--and gobbling up everything in its path. The rest of the story for anyone interested: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/08/060828211914.htm
