Tardigrada - One Of The Most Amazing Creatures On Earth

Meet a Tardigrada - one of the hardiest creatures on our planet. They survive up to ten years without water can survive at -271 ° C in liquid helium and at +100 ° C in boiling water, kept at 1000 times the dose of radiation than a person, and even have been in outer space!

Tardigrades are polyextremophiles; scientists have reported their existence in hot springs, on top of the Himalayas, under layers of solid ice and in ocean sediments. Many species can be found in a milder environment like lakes, ponds and meadows, while others can be found in stone walls and roofs. Tardigrades are most common in moist environments, but can stay active wherever they can retain at least some moisture.
