Aug 21, 2024, 4:08 PMIf you're not familiar with tardigrades, AKA water bears or moss piglets, they're the coolest little animals ever. Around half a millimetre long, 8 legs with either suction cups or claws on the end (mine had claws, visible to the eye in the microscope), and they're as close to being invincible as it gets. They'll survive stupidly high/low temps, vacuum, resistant to radiation, can survive exposure to space, and can dehydrate themselves to survive indefinitely. And they're SO CUTE!
