Amazing Animal Abilities

in amazing •  7 years ago 

Meet the toughest animal on earth - the Tardigrade. Also known as “water bears”, these guys are nearly indestructible. They’re tiny, only 0.059 inches in size, and can survive for nearly 120 years without food. Freezing or boiling temperatures…no problem! Pressures 6x greater than the oceans deepest depths…child’s play! Vacuum of space…piece of cake! They accomplish this by essentially dehydrating themselves to the point where their metabolic function becomes amazingly slow.

How's that for a super-human ability!

If these things were even the size of a small dog, they would be terrifying! LOL!
