    Whoever animated this gets an award for making a tardigrade the most adorable thing ever. I mean, just *look* at him, just sitting there doing nothing, sipping a martini, just ignoring that environmental disaster like it ain't nothing.

    HOW TO INVITE TARDIGRADE IN YOUR HOUSE :
    - Playing the clarinet badly
    - Waving a flashlight back and forth really fast (flashlights are their natural prey)
    - Stomping the ground (they take it as a challenge)
    - Eating cubed cheese; sliced is safe
    - Wearing a sombrero in a goofy fashion (such as upside down or tilted)
    - Wearing clown shoes
    - Wearing a hoop skirt
    - Screeching like a chimpanzee ("never, ever, ever," this is a very big attractor)
    - Running (makes them attack one again)
    - Limping (worse than running)
    - Crawling (even worse than limping)

      Imagine the savings you could mount up with virtually no expenses. Everyone could save and the economy would collapse. the economy only operates because we are all so vulnerable to environmental stresses.
      This leads me to predict that ETs would have different economic systems because they would have different environmental stresses and different ways of responding to them. Therefore there is not one immutable economic set of laws for intelligent life or one ideal perfect one, but the one best suited for the environmental conditions and the biology of the ET in question. Therefore out there exists somewhere an advanced hive species living viably in a communistic system where on earth that does not work.

      Tardigrade's tun state is also seen as halfway between life and death, because in this state tardigrades are capable of hardly anything of what we see as the defining obligations of "being alive". So those tardigrades that died while in tan state give rise questions according were exactly life ends and death begins. Did they just die while being dead? And how comes the others stayed alive while being dead?

    The existence of the 'Tardigrade' predicates a vastly more intriguing question than the creature itself...and that question is'how did the cells of this creature evolve to such specialized adaptations?' By what mechanism of 'forced response to an external stimulus?' How does the 'DNA' of a cell 'learn to respond to a stimulus unless the stimulus is a virtual 'constant factor?' Does cellular biology have an answer for this 'adaptability-factor?' How does DNA 'know' how to respond...can it 'think' or 'remember'...and the answer is NO.But...much like 'Silly-Putty', it can have a 'shadow engram' embossed upon it, one overlay atop another...and each of these engrams can be selected over others...a 'specialized key fitting a specialized lock' occurrence .A 'new type' of 'selective-memory'.

      yeah its like maxing out magic defense in a server where everyone uses physical attacks, it's super unreliable.

    Tardigrade is so resistant to everything that isn’t gonna try and kill it. The tardigrade evolved from an animal in the Cambrian that had five compound eyes and a grappler

    Kudos to the animator for making the tardigrade so likeable, previously I'd thought these things needed to be incinerated and put out w acid but the animation made me think, "hey, they're actually p decent, if not cute, lil guys, maybe just a tad too too hardy"

      To dismiss your point, evolution is real and we are evolving to become smarter and bigger. Evolution takes billions of years. So yes, we would evolve and are still evolving and it has been like that for millions of years and will never change.

    This is such a good video cause I had to do a school report on an animal or creature and I decided that tardigrades were really interesting and I found this video and another and this video was insanely informational and I got an A+
