What Makes Tardigrades Immortal?

How are the tardigrades so good at surviving? Are the Tardigrades actually imortal? What is the science behind their good health? Tardigrades are strange-looking, slow-moving microscopic animals. They are semi translucent, segmented like caterpillars, and have eight limbs with claws at the end of each one. They are also called “moss piglets” and “water bears,” and they are found almost everywhere on the planet. Some of them live completely in water, while others are terrestrial and exist in damp vegetation and soil. What makes them special is their unusual survival skills, which we will discuss in this episode of The Infographics Show, “What Makes Tardigrades Immortal.”

My past biology professor was the top scientist for these creatures. He put them on notice and was a community professor. He was the only professor to get funded for research in a community school. The only reason he is working in a community college is because he started his love for science in that school and wants to give back for that discovery.

I figured out a way to catch some of them. Get an old ice cream container. Fill it with 5 cm of water and put thin apple slices in it. Put it on a counter top outside and cover it with a cloth. Check every day to make sure no maggots are inside. Everydag use a flashlight to check if there are any tardigrades in the ice-cream container. They are really small so you need good eyesight. They will reflect the light of the tardigrade. Put one under a microscope or really strong magnifying glass just to make sure they really are tardigrades!

If these little animals can survive about anything, live on planets with harsh conditions could be quite possible.

+3 more errors in the description
tardigrades are cute but are deadly
4:30 this is a thing a lot of people get wrong about space temperature is the vibration of molecules and here on earth it is mostly transferred through contact with other molecules mostly air since their is no air in space the only way for heat to escape an object is radiation and that takes a very long time if you were exposed to the vacuum of space you wouldn’t instantly start freezing you would suffocate in below a minute and it will take a long time for the heat to escape your body and start to freeze for those confused about what i mean about radiation thermal radiation and nuclear radiation are different things thermal radiation is the escape of heat from matter without contact to other mater this is how the suns heat gets to earth without air
I love these cute and strong creatures 💛💜
