I had never heard of this... thing, and I have to admit it weirds me out a little bit. It's some sort of microscopic, indestructible plush toy.

I've been a big fan of the Tardigrade for some time. They even look hard.

Never heard of them either. Hagfish are another such weird creature from the depths of the ocean.

Channel 4 has one of them feeding as part of its introduction to programmes. I thought it was cute!

They look hard Confused

It looks like an amalgamation of several ultra fluffy pillows with a hoover nozzle as a face!

lol. Thanks Simon. I have a monthly subscription to Focus and they always seem to find out something new about the water bear. Think the last thing I read was that they can cover themselves in a glass like substance and suspend themselves should they ever need to sleep for a while until better times. Cold, heat, radioactivity, space.. Nothing seems to grate a Tardigrade.
