Shelled amoeba crawls like an octopus, shifting tactics
on the go
An international team of researchers led by Hokkaido University
has characterized the unique mechanics that enable Arcella,
a shelled, single-celled amoeba, to move skillfully across
different surfaces.
Their findings, published in the Proceedings of the Japan
Academy, Series B, have shed light on how this tiny
microorganism maintains mechanical balance during movement,
supporting its shell through the coordinated use of its
many pseudopodia.

Natural Intelligence ... note this is a SINGLE CELLED
org - no brain, no nerves - yet it adapts to its
dynamic environment in a sort of intelligent manner,
likely better than low-end electronic 'AI'.
Do look at the full article.
Seems that even CYTOPLASM can be "smart".
This is kind of embarrassing. Where the hell
have we gone wrong ?
