I love those virus shapes. They always fascinated my as a kid in science class.
it's wild how they just look like little guys, how did that happen
and what little dances are are they doing with those little legs??
It's crazy how cute a lot of these things look under a microscope. Even E coli. looks adorable wriggling around.
The "legs" grab onto bacterial cell membranes to insert the central stalk like a syringe. It is a specialised adaptation to parisitism of a specific kind of host, which is observed in many advanced obligate parasites. This kind of specialisation results from many generations of co-evolution.
