Yay a new video! Thanks Amoeba Sisters! Just in time for my Fungi lesson today and to recap Protists from yesterday :D

I want the Amoeba Sisters to have some sort of story arc where they explore their world and meet different microbes, protists, parasitic Amoebas, fungi, viruses, etc.

Maybe even a backstory for them <-<
