Protists are a fairly recent classification for organisms that are not plants, animals or fungi. It can be considered the "junk drawer" of living things. Protists are very interesting, because they are almost like the things they are similar to, but not quite. Amobea, a protozoan or animal-like protist, share many characteristics with animals but are not animals because they are unicellular (one-celled).
