I can’t believe I’m saying this but, the way they walk is absolutely adorable.

Moral of the story, when humans are long gone, these guys will remain the inhabitants of this planet

I like the other name of the tardigrade the Water Bear. A little tiny animal with a fierce nickname. And a cartoon reference.

Cockroaches: We are the toughest creatures alive
Water bears: Hold our 🍻

I wonder, how many of these have I accidentally drank or eaten. 🤔

[ldekker]

They're so cute, I love them! They're like microscopic gummy bears with too many limbs and monstrous mouths who can survive in outer space. Adorable.

I love this little critters! They are so unbelievably badass for being so unbelievably tiny. And the fact that tardigrades are also called “water bears” is adorable.

You didn't mention the most interesting thing about them, that despite everything about them, somehow they are very adorable.

[Koreacasian]

How have I gone 35 years without knowing about these creatures? Epic.

[unlshtb]

4:30 Jesus Christ, that LizardM8 really wants his bearded dragon video, he’s been asking it for 3 years

[EricMcNugget]

I don't understand how something so atomic can be so cute.

[rodmehta]

"...in the universe!"


Bold claim.

[MichaelSBaram]

They kinda remind me of Appa from Avatar: The Last Airbender.
