Dec. 4, 2008 Rolling 'Sea Grape' Rocks The Fossil Record:

Citat: "...
The grape-like animal, tentatively named the Bahamian Gromia, is
actually a single-celled organism, fully one inch long.
....
We're confident that drawing attention to these bizarre mega-protists
will provide a powerful new spin to the debate," said biologist Mikhail
Matz.
....
Matz worked out the genetics of the new creature and found it's a giant
amoeba closely related to similar blobs found in the Gulf of Oman, near
Antarctica, off Guam, and in the Mediterranean. None of them are known
to move.
....
Johnsen also couldn't guess how the critters reproduce. "They obviously
do, because there sure were a lot of them," he said. They all appeared
to be about the same size however, so it wasn't obvious if there were
any young Gromia.
