Slime molds like those in the genus Comatricha find the perfect place to settle down by scooting around via pseudopods—cellular extensions that shoot forward for the rest of the cell to coalesce around.

Less than 10% of the macrophages treated solely with saline had pseudopods.

By the statue hangs a faded banner: Bolivia Mar. When Bolivia declared its independence it had a territorial pseudopod that extended southwest from its Andean heartland through the Atacama Desert to the sea.

All the same, it’s striking and almost eerily deliberate looking, the kind of thing that really does appear to have been created by an intelligent hand—or flipper or pseudopod.

Next, they form a temporary crude arm, called a pseudopod, and extend it through the opening, where they pinch off chunks of cytoplasm and consume it.
