Hello, and welcome to "Weird, Gross, and Beautiful,"

a casual discussion about animals that I think

are weird, gross, and beautiful, or all three.

And today we're talking about tardigrades!

and so you've probably never seen one before.

But they can be found anywhere from the equator,

to polar regions, to the highest point on Earth,

or to the deepest parts of the sea, or your backyard.

nibbling on some moss cause that's what they like to do.

They're like less than a milliliter long.

That's their job is to just go nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, moss,

So if there was a nuclear blast they'd probably

be the only things to survive, not cockroaches like everyone

And that is because they have evolved this ability for when

their environment becomes too hostile for them

to keep sucking on moss and doing whatever they want to do,

they die basically, just for a little bit.

It's basically like this long hibernation

where they just slow down everything in their bodies.

When conditions become livable for them again

they'll just come back to life like no big deal.

In 2007 we sent them into space and we exposed them

to solar winds, and subzero temperatures,

and they were just like, oh yeah, is that all you got?

They have been known to withstand temperatures

as low as negative 200 Celsius and as high as 151 Celsius.

They've also been known to survive pressures

as low as the vacuum of outer space and pressures as high

that you would find at the deepest part of our deepest

But as amazing as these little creatures are,

There is over 1,000 different types of these little water

bears, but some of them are wholly lacking in males.

And that's because some of them reproduce with parthenogenesis.

Thank you for watching "Weird, Gross, and Beautiful."
