Tardigrades like moss. So if you want to find a tardigrade, looking in moss is the place to look.

What gets me is they’ve found 168 species in Japan alone! Holy Moly, they’re going to take over the world. Raid ought to get busy making a tardigrage spray!

The weirdest thing about it is it looks like it’s wearing a space suit, it doesn’t look like its covering is live “skin.”

Just imagine one of those ten feet long instead of one millimeter.

I have several of these and keep them at pets. We’re working on basic commands like stay and coming when called. Smart little buggars!

Tardigrade, geez, can't they just go back to calling it special education?

Great, now I'm a little too ashamed to ping the list, and a little too proud to delete that one. Ah well.

Tardigrades might be Earth's first interplanetary colonists. Thanks fieldmarshaldj.
