@@Oneminmicro thank you, great idea. I appreciate it!! I am a trained science teacher, but I'm currently working in Korea, for another year. Then I'll return to being a science teacher. Thank you yet again!
There is a near-microscopic animal called Tricoplax in phylum Placozoa, which exhibits coordinated feeding and response behaviors without any neurons. If that can happen, then I don’t have any major issue believing this can happen too.
Brains aren't necessarily needed to trial and error. Plenty of things with out a brain can be thought to remember mazes. Flat works and I presume Tardigrades are technically brainless, having Nerve Ganglia. Now say a starfish doesn't gave any singlur cluster of nerves.
I think the reason I find Tardigrades so creepy is because they have legs and they’re microscopic. I’ve never seen a microscopic organism with a formed body.
i saw another video made by the same creator where i saw the actual tardigrade and not under the microscope. he said that u can see them with a macroscope, since theyre barely visible to the eye all i remember is that they were yellow-ish with a hint of green (it was probably one of the large variations lol)
I feel like we never think about the fact that they are animals and behave as such, that all living things behave in general, to see an organism this size live its life and have its own enviroment, it makes to think about your fundamental understanding of what it is the exist and live, what exists and how
When I was really young I think I was like seven or eight. I had a dream. it was more of a nightmare to my younger self but now I look back at it and it was an insanely awesome unique dream: I was a single celled organism floating through some liquid. I ran into something or something ran into me and it made me buzz out of control! and it went dark and I woke up. The feeling was like a climax, a sever burn sensation, a vibration of standing next to a 10 foot base speaker (on full blast) but no sound. I felt no pain but I probably died. so strange I know. I haven't thought about that dream for over 15-20 years but your videos brought back the memories.
@@Oneminmicro That's a relief! ...which is strange when you consider how many microbes I kill in my daily routine both intentionally and not. I'm still glad you let me know. :) I'm curious, do you ever feel attached to them on a level other than scientific curiosity?
I really like these little buggers. They can survive nuclear radiation, dehydration, boiling water temperatures, freezing, vacuum of space, and stay crispy in milk and lettuce!
Fun fact: tardigrades are born with all the cells they will ever have in their lives, the cells just get bigger when they grow older The same applies to their sperm I think
@@CooledJets it’s not too far fetched to believe in god. Nobody can prove or disapprove its existence. You can pretty much label the phenomenon as a scientific theory. No one truly knows how the universe was created. There are only mere speculations/theories.
@@isaiahmoriniere6095 agreed, however the same argument can be made for the lack of existence. I don't feel like betting that god does exist and wasting the life I am guaranteed by living as some kind of paragon, and also think that if god does exist and has failed to produce enough evidence of that existence for me to believe, that that is on god and not me. But sure, for all I know I'm going straight to hell when I die. Whatever.
so technically, the earth could blow up one day and these guys can survive the vacuum of space and float through the galaxy and land on a lifeless planet, then when conditions are right they'll wake up and evolve to new life! neat
If I just watched them hatching out of the shed skin without you explaining what it was I would've thought the mom self-sacrificed her own body for the babies to bust out of alien-style.
I don’t know why, maybe it’s that motherly instinct some people have stronger than others, but this whole video made me smile and feel proud and content. Strange.
First real organisms that are immortal. Can stand some of the highest and lowest of temperatures and can live without oxygen. If I am not mistaken, tests were actually done sending them into space and they survived. Actually really fascinating.
The part where it shows them all wiggling like ready to pop out the sides at the start of the video definitely made me say ew out loud haha. I don’t know, it just creeped me out. I didn’t know it was just the shed skin and thought this mom had babies just sticking out wiggling ready to fall out. I’m my head I imagined like larvae in a beehive how they’re each in a spot but can poke out and wiggle. Ew.
That is so cool, and a very good way to protect the creature's eggs before they hatch. The fact they evolved to do this to hatch their young is so cool.
They actually look a lot like mammals in there mannerisms If I say they have about 200 neurons, that doesn't seem like alot, but if I say each neuron could potentially make a connection to every other neuron, that's more possible combinations than my calculator will allow me to calculate. I mean it's unlikely but could they maybe be just a bit more intelligent than we think?
SOooo interesting.. thank you!! These little piggies are really fascinating - - ppl don't realize what they can endure. Maybe you could do a video on their factoids... ie :: how long they can go w/out food etc. Maybe vids on several life forms ..?
After watching a lot of such content, I am just so happy the brood didn't try to eat one another after hatching -- nor did they result to eating the husk of their mother the thumbnail implied. Truly a happy tale for all involved!
😲 I had no idea. I never really gave it much thought but they’re actually tiny animals 🤯 imagine if a fully self contained micro animal could grow and it wasn’t just colonisation of organisms that led to being macro, could we see macro water bears in a few thousand years?
I forget when I first heard about the indestructible tardigrade, but it is amazing that an animal so tiny can live in our world without most of us knowing they're here.
You know that could literally be us right now just think about it we might just be tiny things in our whole solar system just an atom in the structure of an enormous being we might just be an electron and we think we're orbiting the sun but we're just one of many others orbiting the nucleus
Their mom even gave them a blanket made of herself. Very cute.
But when I do it with my gf skin I'm suddenly a "creep" and "sycophantic"
@@justsomedude4469 Hahaha. That gave me a chuckle!
Yeah and she also abandoned them
@@justsomedude4469 Can relate
Hey Richter, are you happy that you're getting your own show?
Love how most residents of their world just look like simple shapes while these guys are extremely tiny chunky caterpillars. Love how they waddle too
😮😮y😂😂tttt tthe and 😂😂 tyy ttg
I mean, when you don't study airplanes all of them almost look the same, but when you do you see how different one is from the other
Their world and our world are the same world.
@@wokeness420 I don't live in a petri dish.
@@Rune-Thief Not now, you don't, but when you were a sperm and an egg you could have.
(Damned thing auto corrected sperm to supermarket! WTF!)
Interesting, i always wondered how they gestated.
Yup! Pretty cool right?!
Yes I’ve never seen them pregnant or bearing young before. Nice video 👍🏻
gestated is past tense
That’s a new term I just learned lmao
@@DanielAleksanderJensen - Oh
As a science teacher, I appreciate the effort and interesting content you provide.
Do you show it to your students? I hope so :)
If you ever want a zoom meet up with your class, so let me know :)
@@StratospheralNurse I want to in the future.
@@Oneminmicro thank you, great idea. I appreciate it!! I am a trained science teacher, but I'm currently working in Korea, for another year. Then I'll return to being a science teacher. Thank you yet again!
It's truly remarkable that anything this tiny, with such a simple brain, is even capable of trial & error.
Good point

I know ay, 👍💖
Mind blowing 🤯!
Even we start out on a microscopic level!
I wonder what's smaller in size🤔...
A human blastocyst?
Or a water bear. ?
Electrons literally exhibit trial and error in a force field.
My brain has a hard time accepting that they aren't adorable tiny mammals that should give live birth.
I think the reason I find Tardigrades so creepy is because they have legs and they’re microscopic. I’ve never seen a microscopic organism with a formed body.
They are small enough that even some single celled organism try to eat them.
@@VaporSprite Now I'm interested
You should check out rotifers then.
i saw another video made by the same creator where i saw the actual tardigrade and not under the microscope. he said that u can see them with a macroscope, since theyre barely visible to the eye
all i remember is that they were yellow-ish with a hint of green (it was probably one of the large variations lol)
@@JohnDoe-id5ihYeah human eggs are visible to the naked eye too. They appear as small white balls.
I’m obsessed with water bears!! they are so cute
LOL ! They're soil mates with macro life manatees 🙃😉 I'm fond of both!
Right?? They’re just so tiny and adorable, I love them
No they aren't
@@Kyo_831that’s fine to think
They are quite cute, especially seen under the microscope. I don't know why but when they are drawn, they always look so horrible.
yoooo dude that is so cool!! They use their shed skin as kind of an egg for the eggs for extra protection, that is such cool evolution!
Do you ever wonder if they realize that there is a whole world outside their existence!
They don't.
I often wonder if most humans realize this
@@electriceyeball you have a point and it could be true. But one difference is that humans are looking for another existence.
@@khalicomusic5191 who's to say they aren't?
@@LiaMac12 that'd be cool. They move so animal like.. well they are but still. Man evolution is just breathtaking sometimes.
I feel like we never think about the fact that they are animals and behave as such, that all living things behave in general, to see an organism this size live its life and have its own enviroment, it makes to think about your fundamental understanding of what it is the exist and live, what exists and how
They're soo cute and incredible how invincible they are and not even close harmful to humans!

maybe the blast when your dad's supermarket met your mums egg
Bro! What if you remembered being a sperm before hitting the egg?!?
@@dannyboygregory-mccormick9157 DUDE lol!!!
I never thought about that that's crazy! 🤪
Wow 😳 that's.. intense
@@dannyboygregory-mccormick9157 imagine missing the eggs or discover it's a paper towel
"The first of many challenges" yeah like when the microscope slide is cleaned immediately after...

@Nathan Brader he then later clean the moss with bleach lol
@@Oneminmicro That is so adorable I just subbed.
@@Oneminmicro woooo! I love knowing this.
Waterbears are really kind of cute.
Until you get a close up look of their face… face could have been cute had it been normal
@@Mr.Obongo What makes you normal?
@@EikottXD love this response. ❤
@@Mr.Obongo
Bet it's cute to it's mommy and daddy!
Oh wait. The parents left.
Love how you narrated like some national geographic video
I really like these little buggers. They can survive nuclear radiation, dehydration, boiling water temperatures, freezing, vacuum of space, and stay crispy in milk and lettuce!
They're anti mage in a game without mages.
Makes you wonder how many more worlds are going unseen
Omg MINI waterbears 😍♥️ they're sooo cute!!
Fun fact: tardigrades are born with all the cells they will ever have in their lives, the cells just get bigger when they grow older
The same applies to their sperm I think
Amazing.. a world unseen but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Absolutely mind boggling!
Same goes with heaven and hell.
Tardigrades
Pros:
Resistance to armageddon
Cons:
Everything else
Tier Zoo probably ranks them G tier 😭😭😭
It never ceases to amaze me how something so tiny can be so complex.
Imagine if somewhere out there some eldritch being is watching us like this guy is watching tadigrades
fermi paradox
God? You just described god
@@Alusnovalotus yeah, holy shit imagine if god was real

I've been obsessed with tardigrades for over a decade and yet this is the first time I see them hatching - so thank you!
My god, the shed skin of the mother in the last shot looks like a “3D” vector line drawing from an Atari game from back in the day
Finally, a real clip of waterbears that's not CGI
so technically, the earth could blow up one day and these guys can survive the vacuum of space and float through the galaxy and land on a lifeless planet, then when conditions are right they'll wake up and evolve to new life! neat
It’s amazing how beautiful life is even on a micro scale…
If I just watched them hatching out of the shed skin without you explaining what it was I would've thought the mom self-sacrificed her own body for the babies to bust out of alien-style.
you know you are seeing a very tiny creature when it all looks like animated line art.
These are so interesting! And adorable.
Do you have the cutest little black eyes?❤😊
they look like mini manities! so cuteeee
I never once in my life concidered how tardigrades are born
The most durable creature on earth by far. They can survive almost anything.
Tardigrades are so cute. They are literally microscopic bears. Waterbears are a perfect name for them 🥰
They're not "literally" tiny bears, they are nothing like actual bears 😅😅
Bears and tardigrades no matter when they came diverged 550 million years ago even if they interact on a daily
Tardigrades feel so special💜
I don’t know why, maybe it’s that motherly instinct some people have stronger than others, but this whole video made me smile and feel proud and content. Strange.
Can't Joe Rogan hasn't talked about this bear, making grizzly noises...
I thought after millions of hours I had seen everything a mini bear can do. I was wrong.
thats wild
they just...stop, and then tiny versions of themself crawl out of the carcass.
still pretty hard to comprehend that they're like, somewhat a bug.
This is absolutely incredible. Thank you.
"Challenges they will face" as if they aren't reasonably immortal
The photography is so clear! Nice
The newborn waterbear is like when you were five and struggling to put a shirt on and somehow manage to get your head in 1/8th of your sleeve
I love Tardigrades, they can survive anything, long periods in space, radioactivity, toxins etc.
They will rule the Earth when we're gone.
Probably next to the cockroaches!
@@redbird1218
True, what a weird world tgat will be!😬
Me: Welcome To The World.
Baby Tardigrade: Wow, So This Is What The World Actually Look Like?
Why!? WHY is it so CUTE!?
smol :)
is it just me or does anyone else want to become 1000 times smaller to feel the shed skin of tardigrades
why are they so cute
I love how strangely cute tardigrades are 😂
They're so small and adorable
Oh wow! Like birthing from a womb after hatching. I love how they move all wobbly and unsure just like mammal babies!
I wish we could apply consciousness to one of these animals for a moment. Just to hear what their perspective is like
They have to be conscious to be aware of their surroundings and eat. The real question is are they self aware!?
@@VaporSprite thanks for the extra research. 🙂
the most beautiful delivery
Now imagine if humans gave birth like this
This was an awesome short, thank you for taking the time to put this together! ❤
Oh my god, this is really cool!
I actually love tardigrades tho. They're such cool little creatures
First real organisms that are immortal. Can stand some of the highest and lowest of temperatures and can live without oxygen. If I am not mistaken, tests were actually done sending them into space and they survived. Actually really fascinating.
Look into hydras
Ahh yes first what about sponges the first animals or the rotifer idk ther isn't any immortal organisms I give up but you still fail
these are the cutest tardigrade i have ever seen.
look how cute they are
I audibly gasped and startled my sleeping cats when the shot cut to them all snug in the blanket their mama made for them
The part where it shows them all wiggling like ready to pop out the sides at the start of the video definitely made me say ew out loud haha. I don’t know, it just creeped me out.

Every time i drink water, i always wonder how many water bears i swallowed.
LMFAO
That is so cool, and a very good way to protect the creature's eggs before they hatch. The fact they evolved to do this to hatch their young is so cool.
They debate about aliens all the time
There’s so much different things we could be reborn as it makes me think I was lucky being born as a human
They actually look a lot like mammals in there mannerisms
If I say they have about 200 neurons, that doesn't seem like alot,
but if I say each neuron could potentially make a connection to every other neuron, that's more possible combinations than my calculator will allow me to calculate.
I mean it's unlikely but could they maybe be just a bit more intelligent than we think?
If a Water Bear and Sea Monkey ever could fight…It would be like a microscopic Godzilla vs KingKong scenario…I’d like to think anyway.
Its nice to know these things. It humanizes an unknown. Its a test of humanity in a person to deny respect for common aspects in other life.
SOooo interesting.. thank you!! These little piggies are really fascinating - - ppl don't realize what they can endure. Maybe you could do a video on their factoids... ie :: how long they can go w/out food etc. Maybe vids on several life forms ..?
The momma must be proud
It does the tartigrade version of tucking our kids in at night when he go to bed and pass their room.
It'd be cool if I could see a camera pov of a water bear sometime in my lifetime.
After watching a lot of such content, I am just so happy the brood didn't try to eat one another after hatching -- nor did they result to eating the husk of their mother the thumbnail implied. Truly a happy tale for all involved!
I can never think of anything but South Park and the NFL when I see these things now.
Micro-organism eggs are such a weird concept to me.
The fact that you can see every cell in their body is pretty cool!
Tardigrades are so cool. I didn’t know they laid eggs, I thought they reproduced asexually through mitosis!
Tf no animal does that
Imagine if clone organisms did that
literally the grossest, yet most wholesome thing I've seen in years.
This is a "watta-beah" under the microscope.
it’s crazy that they just walk around just like any other creature
😲 I had no idea. I never really gave it much thought but they’re actually tiny animals 🤯 imagine if a fully self contained micro animal could grow and it wasn’t just colonisation of organisms that led to being macro, could we see macro water bears in a few thousand years?
If they hadnt did that in the at least past 100 million years I don't think they'll do that soon especily with synapsids oppressing them
They’re so cute. I want one.❤
Imagine being born under a microscope
I’d like a peak into the microscopic world in show format. And in their natural environment. I can’t get enough of this stuff
It's so cute.
They're so stupid and clumsy I LOVE THEM
*"The first if may challenges they will have in the micro-world"*
Nobody: *My janitor with sanitizer spray*
Waterbears or tardigrades ain't so easily killed tho, I don't think sanitizer sprays are enough to kill them
I forget when I first heard about the indestructible tardigrade, but it is amazing that an animal so tiny can live in our world without most of us knowing they're here.
I may be tardy, but I'm always on time.
Amazing how it even has the structure of a land mammal, even sharp jelly claws!
Imagine existing without knowing the existence of giants like other animals or plants
You know that could literally be us right now just think about it we might just be tiny things in our whole solar system just an atom in the structure of an enormous being we might just be an electron and we think we're orbiting the sun but we're just one of many others orbiting the nucleus
@@ricksanchez3204 get your portal gun then.
Why are they so cute!
The way the one baby Water bear helped pull his brother out 😍
It's a demonstration of how these tardigrades are animals, just a lot smaller than most.
not gonna lie, i swear i heard you say water bed. i was like wtf eggs doing in the water bed
Every time I see videos of these little guys i fall deeper and deeper in love with them 😭💜💜
followed you from tt water bear live, I love these little guys
I've never been so proud of watching South Park. this is beautiful
