Cool Facts About Animals

On this episode, we learn about a truly resilient animal, the tardigrade (aka the cutely-named moss piglet or water bear).

This animal can survive anywhere from the moon to a volcano to your own backyard. In its tun state, it can lie dormant for decades in a sort of zombie state. Very cool.
