Water bear appreciation post! 💧🧸

This tardigrade is seen through a colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM) Magnification: x1000.

Water bears are small, water-dwelling, segmented micro-animals with eight legs that live in damp habitats such as moss or lichen. They are classed as extremophiles as they can survive dry conditions by changing into a desiccated state, in which they can remain for many years.
