Animalcule

Animalcule ("little animal", from Latin ''animal'' + the diminutive suffix ''-culum'') is an older term for a microscopic animal or protozoan. Some better-known animalcules include:
* ''Actinophrys'', and other heliozoa, called sun animalcules
* ''Amoeba'', called ''Proteus animalcule''
* ''Noctiluca scintillans'', commonly called the 'Sea Sparkles'
* ''Paramecium'', called slipper animalcules
* ''Rotifers'', called wheel animalcules
* ''Stentor'', called trumpet animalcules
* ''Vorticella'', and other peritrichs, called bell animalcules
The term was also used by Anton van Leeuwenhoek, the 17th-century preformationist and discoverer of microorganisms, to describe spermatozoa.
The word appears in the Major-General's Song, in which Major-General Stanley sings, "I know the scientific names of beings animalculous..."
