I’m probably sitting on a few of them right now. Hope
they can fluff back out once I get up and they fall on
the floor. - Oops! You are sitting on some of them also!

Honey badger don’t give a #$@% how tough water bear thinks it is.

Bought my teenage granddaughter a plug-in (USB) microscope and she now loves to watch all the critters in pond water. Her new favorite "monster" is the hydra.

Tardigrade “Water bears” are Everywhere.
If you’ve ever had the pleasure of lying down on a bed of moss, there were multitudes of them beneath you.
Good thing they’re friendly!
“small, segmented animals come in many forms - there are more than 900 species of them - and they’re found everywhere in the world, from the highest mountains to the deepest oceans.”

They can be found in a single drop of dew.
