Description
The tardigrade is tiny, adorable extremophile that lives almost everywhere, from mosses and lichens to the deepest oceans. These little creatures are tiny, most are less than half a millimeter long, but they’re very tough. They can survive insane pressures and even a total lack of oxygen.
Scientists have taken tardigrades into space, and exposed them to the vacuum of space and harsh cosmic radiation, extremes that would kill anything. But when these tardigrades were returned to earth they were absolutely fine. Walked around and everything, which is just the craziest thing. To this date tardigrades are the only creature to have survived unprotected exposure to space.
Buy this on a pin { www.zazzle.com/tardigrade_pin-… } or as a print for your friends who love adorable things, or to remind yourself that even the littlest and ugliest things can be interesting and important. **Note: For maximum accuracy to nature, please hang this upside down. —Jacob
