    Problem with the Tardigrades, is that despite being resistent to many things, most of it is not the usual cause of death for tardigrades, that is of course their predators, and tardigrades do not have good defense mechanisms against them which is pretty ironic.

    I’ve never heard the term “moss piglets” but I love it! Is that term commonly used? Are some species called water bears and others called moss piglets, or is the whole group called water bears by some, and called moss piglets by others?

    • @katinapac-baez5083
      @katinapac-baez5083 7 місяців тому

      The nicknames are interchangeable... at least that's how I've heard them used for the last 20 years or so.

    • @JACandQuill
      @JACandQuill Місяць тому

      Both names are very common, although "moss piglet" is generally only used for Eutardigrades, which are almost all fresh water and semi-terrestrial; living in, well, moss. Heterotardigrades are almost all marine, so they dont get that nickname haha. I would highly suggest looking into them! They have a significantly wider range of diversity in terms of their body plans, despite a much smaller number of individuals being found. Theyre really neat to look into, but they aren't studied as much since theyre harder to find.

I know this is right up your alley, and so when you can, i will appreciate you talking about these little organisms!

      Notice how no one engages with that? Yea. So the flat earth thing is old. It’s not a serious topic. It’s just not. So less and less people will debate you anymore just like in this case and it will get less and less and less until no one speaks about a flat earth anymore. It is l due to humanity educating themselves with the knowledge that a flat earth or any flat planet, moon or small planet doesn’t exist in the natural world from what evidence we have up to now. We haven’t found one yet I should say.

    Hello Professor Dave, I love your show! Water Bears are so weird looking! I think it's really cool to make all of these amazing creatures with crisper, but I think that it might be dangerous if one of them excapped from its confines. Has one ever retired a human by mistake? How do you know what is a safe and acidproof. fence? I saw this movie where this alien had acid for blood so that when it got shot up by all of America's best guns the acid would fly out and land on the space marines. I once asked the big hollywood star whose name I will not repeat and she didn't answer my question no matter how polite I was and I even lied about how great of an actress she was. Some people are just too important for an American tax paying citizen. Thanks Dave, bye now
