This document summarizes characteristics of animal-like protists. It describes that they are single-celled microscopic organisms that move using cilia, flagella, pseudopodia, or are sessile. They can be free-living, commensal, parasitic, or mutualistic. Locomotion methods include cilia, flagella, pseudopodia projections, or being sessile without movement. Nutrition is heterotrophic or parasitic and reproduction can be asexual through binary fission or budding, or sexual through conjugation. Examples mentioned include Amoeba, Arcella, Trypanosoma, Paramecium, Vorticella, and Stentor.
