Tardigrades

This is a post about tardigrades, one of my favorite animals!

Tardigrades, also known as "water bears" or "moss piglets", have recently been discovered as the first species of organism to be able to survive the conditions of outer space. Also able to withstand extremely low and high temperatures, water bears live in places ranging from the Himalayas to the deep sea. They have 8 legs and are called "bears" because when they walk they kind of plod about just like a bear. The fact that they can survive in the vacuum like conditions of space leads me to speculate that perhaps these animals originated from space. Anyway, I hope you appreciate this animal as much as I do.


bye bye and may you have an interesting day
