Tardigrades, also known as “water bears,” are strangely adorable microscopic creatures that are capable of withstanding some of the worst that nature can throw at them. Classified as “extremophiles,” they can survive freezing, total dehydration, radiation, and even the vacuum of space.

Cool, so in a way, they turn into glass.

Known as “extremophiles” . . . . . well, that explains everything now. The very reason Pelosi, Chuckie the clown, Maxine Waters, etc., WILL NOT GO AWAY - they are all EXTREMOPHILES !

Definitely the headline of the day. Personally I use beer to survive desiccation, but they don’t have any of those little bitty bottle openers, I guess.
