What Makes Tardigrades Immortal?

How are the tardigrades so good at surviving? Are the Tardigrades actually imortal? What is the science behind their good health? Tardigrades are strange-looking, slow-moving microscopic animals. They are semi translucent, segmented like caterpillars, and have eight limbs with claws at the end of each one. They are also called “moss piglets” and “water bears,” and they are found almost everywhere on the planet. Some of them live completely in water, while others are terrestrial and exist in damp vegetation and soil. What makes them special is their unusual survival skills, which we will discuss in this episode of The Infographics Show, “What Makes Tardigrades Immortal.”
