Habitat
Amoebas normally live in stagnant ponds, shallow pools, and moist dirt.
They are mostly found at the bottom of the water on or around the mud.
I also read about a great method of catching them on a website called http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/indexmag.html?http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/artsep01/amoeba.html.
You will need a small jar to catch them in and a microscope to view them. Now to get started put the jar in your pond or shallow pool until it's just above the mud at the bottom of the water, now slowly tip the jar to let out the air. When you do that it should suck some of the mud up. The amoeba will be in the mud. You may have to do this multiple times before you catch an amoeba.
