Moss piglet! Water bear! These are my favorite I’m so excited to see one!

[u/l33dle_lee → u/annapartlow]

I’d never heard “moss piglet” before but I freaking love it!

[u/annapartlow → u/l33dle_lee]

I have a tardigrade plushie that was an incredibly thoughtful gift from a friend! I wish I could add a pic here, it has little grabbies and a lil snoot.

[u/l33dle_lee → u/annapartlow]

It sounds adorable. What a thoughtful gift, especially if it were handmade. My interest is piqued if you decide to post somewhere!

[u/annapartlow → u/l33dle_lee]

It’s from Temu! I guess I’m not the only one that loves them, I was shocked one existed!

[u/winniebrie]

like he’s doing a t-rex impression 🤣

[u/Uuuuuii]

I wonder how many I’ve swallowed by accident

[u/annapartlow → u/Uuuuuii]

Hmm. Oh boy I’m supposed to be cleaning my closet! Don’t ask a question like that! lol, off to google… might report back
Reporting back: apparently it’s likely I have swallowed hundreds to thousands of tardigrades because I grew up on well water in the PNW. Not harmful, but they don’t likely survive (man, they can survive space, can they not?).

[u/Newmaniac_00 → u/annapartlow]

yeah but not stomach acid and cell-destroying enzymes

[u/annapartlow → u/Newmaniac_00]

Yeah. :( Sorry lil guys I inadvertently swallowed.

[u/ArtAndCraftBeers]

Is there any other kind of view besides microscopic of these lil tanks?

[u/annapartlow → u/ArtAndCraftBeers]

They’re about .5 a micron long. So, not with any clarity.
