These tiny, near-microscopic creatures are some of the toughest organisms on Earth. Here’s what makes them so cool:
-
Size: Usually 0.3–0.5 mm long (barely visible without a microscope).
-
Habitat: Found everywhere — deep oceans, mountaintops, rainforests, even your backyard moss.
-
Superpowers:
-
Can survive extreme temperatures (from near absolute zero to over 150°C).
-
Endure radiation, dehydration, and even the vacuum of space.
-
Go into a "tun" state — basically suspended animation — where they can chill out for decades without food or water.
