Abstract
The movement of slime-mold amoebae under isotropic conditions in two dimensions is represented as a Correlated Walk with straight steps of variable length. The steps are correlated via the angle α turned through from step to step. The hypotheses and predictions of the model compare favourably with experimental data for Dictyostelium discoideum amoebae.
