Animalia are multicellular, while most Protista (excepting the multicellular algae, which are plant-like) are unicellular. Heterotrophism separates the animals and fungi from plants, and the lack of cell walls in animal cells makes them distinct from fungi. Animals also possess several other unique features. These include interior digestion of food, possession of a digestive tract where hydrolytic enzymes are secreted and digestion takes place, and special cell junctions in their tissues.

jinx is so hot when she gets all science teacher-y on us.

But seriously, thanks for the clarification, I somehow forgot all that.

Even MORE SERIOUSLY: Who would win in a cage match? Tartigrade or BSE Prion?

I see a pay per view opportunity for the cellar...
