Tardigrade Consider the lowly Tardigrade To survive any environment, it is tailor made Commonly known as the water bear This handsome creature can live any where From underground to the vacuum of space It is no threat to the human race Unless, it mutates and does grow Then it looks like it could be a ferocious foe ****modeled on Ogden Nash Style*****

The creations of God are amazing. Who else can manufacture such a tiny tiny creature. Amazing what ugly things roam around we don't see o r from his perspective lovely things lol...

Every part of His creation has a purpose. Even one as interesting as a Tardigrade. Thanks Michael

Wow! Is that real? You’ve written a great poem about it, real or not, Oliver!

Yes, they are real. You need a microscope to see them. They inhabit just about every environment. They have been exposed to radiation and the vacuum of space and survived. Thanks Ilene.
