    *At least, that's what I've been told. I never actually met this "Shermon" membrane to membrane, but they insisted that they were the hottest waterbear in the microcosmos, which is a pretty bold statement, considering that they can thrive in over 151 degrees Celsius! (304 degrees F).*

    So I was thinking yesterday about tardigrades and how these wondrous, cute microscopic guys live in the most minutest amounts of water and I got to wondering how many of these little guys we humans and animals consume. I also got to wondering can these masters of survival go into cryptobiosis, make it through the digestive system and come out the other end unscathed? Or will our's and other animal's stomach acids eat through killing them like any other tiny insect that might make into our fresh picked produce?

  • @mossyfriends1911
    @mossyfriends1911 Рік тому +1

    I think one of the biggest reasons people love these little critters so much is because, compared to the majority of other microscopic life, they look the most similar to animals we would regularly keep as pets.
    I myself am a fan of rodents, and I used to regularly keep hamsters. The pudgy legs and the little black eyes, and the fat round bodies of tardigrades really remind me of cute little hamsters.

    Pro tip - Watching this before bed really soothes you to sleep. Next time I'll have to make sure I'm actually in my bed, rather than sitting (nearly falling out of) my chair!

    you know you're an entomologist when 1000 species doesn't sound like that many and you laugh at how few mammals there are (there aren't many more mammals than cockroaches. there are about 11,000 grasshopper species according to wikipedia)

    Tardigrades are technically not extremophiles~ They can endure extreme conditions but they don't prefer them. Extremophiles prefer extreme conditions.

    I would like to purchase the equipment necessary to find and see water bears myself. What microscope and equipment do you suggest?

    If there ever was a species formed on earth to be found in space, it would be tardigrades, I'm sure of that.

    Adorable regarding terrestrial fauna have you looked at mites? There are apparently a diverse assortment of tiny mites and I don't know much about most of them like pretty much all denizens of the microcosmos .

    Quick! someone add some water to that 89 million year old tardigrade! Lay odds on whether it squirts back to life?

    Did they really force you to use that awful infographic, when you have all this amazing footage of waterbears to talk over?

    I am a little saddened by the fact that very little is said about the shell of organisms. After all, if we are talking about a microorganism, then 99% of origin, life and death are associated with it. It is part of the heritage and defines what the cell is. A very fragile structure that can be destroyed by completely unexpected things. For example, as shown in one of the videos, a similar composition of the external environment to the internal one can easily turn it inside out, kill it.

    I wonder,... What it would take to breed water-bears to a visible size or bigger. What sort of adaptation would they develop as they get bigger and bigger.

    Becoming a geneticist to maximize the suffering of an organism by making it an integral part of their existence. Unironically.

    If tardigrade doesn’t have a respiratory system, how do they breathe? Or at least transfer oxygen? Do their cells use diffusion in some way due to their small size or are the too big?
