Behold The Water Bear

Behold the water bear

microorganism extraordinaire,

survivor of five mass extinctions

in half a billion years,

 withstander of minus 328

and plus 300 degrees,

radiation, and outer space.

Even if we don’t make it,

it looks like they will.

  2. Amazing little critters aren’t they? I wonder if they had a culture what they could tell us, especially about resilience.
