In 1785 a star study of the heavens produced a star map of the Milky Way Galaxy that slightly resembled an amoeba (micro biologists might disagree) [See link]

Since the Hubble telescope, no galaxy has been found, yet, that resembles an amoeba.

There is a possibility than an a irregular or a merging galaxy might resemble one, one day.
