.... the humble and extremeophile tardigrade? Mmmm... Perchance?
Sure!
Have you seen a tardigrade (Phylum: Tardigrada)?
I have now
Yes, in photos/videos
Yes, irl
I'm not sure
The first photo is thanks to Tsujimoto et al. 2016, taken by Megumu Tsujimoto/NIPR. The second photo is thanks to Motic Microscopes (If you want to see cute videos of these guys just walking around and eating, I recommend looking for the Motic Microscopes videos of them).

I made a new poster, it's a tardigrade studying microbiology! If you're like me and love science and animals, or have a super cool kid who is into science, go check out my other posters in my Displate shop. I draw various animals that study different fields of science, they are professionals! Big thank you to James Weiss for reference photos for this poster and for just being out there doing what he does! 💖🔬 • Thank you for watching and reading!

Tardigrade has the business end of a vacuum cleaner, for a face!!! 😆

In 1983, the first consumer mobile phones launched and "Star Wars" meant Return of the Jedi. That year, scientists from Japan's National Institute of Polar Research collected microscopic animals called "tardigrades" from Antarctic tundra. They then placed them in a freezer, where they spent the next 30 years. In 2014, researchers decided to defrost the samples to see if the tiny creatures, also called "moss piglets," would come back to life. When the thawing process completed, two creatures started wriggling immediately, setting a new deep-freeze duration record for tardigrades.

Water Bears - Nature's Greatest Survivors
Tardigrades (known as water bears or moss piglets) are some of the most interesting animals in the world. The amazing thing about these tiny, 1mm creatures is just how resilient they are to about everything. You can put them in space, in hot sea vents, freeze them, boil them, dry them, expose them to open space & radiation - and after 200 years they'll still be alive.
These small, segmented animals were discovered by Johann August Ephraim Goeze, an aquatic zoologist, in 1773. Over 900 species of water bears have been found everywhere around the world - from the Himalayan mountains (at elevations of over 6000 meters) to deep ocean areas (4000 meters below sea level). They are most often discovered on mosses, lichens, and various types of sediments.
