amazing shot. You'd swear it was green-wool knitted moss, a canvas & plastic-snouted tardigrade, displayed on a poly tarp.

I am telling you this looks like it can’t be real. The mouth looks like plastic. Is it really real?…. So hard to believe this isn’t something DR WHO writers created. If it is real I sort of take back the thing I said about Dr Who writers being on some seriously crazy drugs when they came up with monsters. He kina looks like he might be sweet and cuddly.

I did not expect moss would be so textured at the sub-millimeter scale, pretty cool!

I love tardigrades SO MUCH, they're the toughtes living beings in existence, the most aliens ones and yet they look so cute and cuddly with that round body and those little feet 😍
