Tardigrades, also called water bears or moss piglets are tiny 1mm long animals that can survive in unbelievably hostile conditions. 

They are capable of surviving…

• 6000 metres up a mountain, and 4000 metres below the sea
• temperatures as high as 150 degrees Celsius and almost as low as absolute zero
• crushing pressures of up to 6000 atmospheres, six times that of the deepest trench in the ocean   
• 10 years without water
• thousands of times more radiation than humans can survive
• The Vacuum and solar radiation of open SPACE for ten days
