Tardigrade in the Miniverse

Have you ever seen a Tardigrade?
I doubt it, they’re microscopically small.
Described as Moss Piglets or Water Bears,
Shortish and plump, certainly not tall.

They wouldn’t make very good pets,
But do look kind of cute under a ‘scope.
Mountains to Oceans, even in Space,
Extremist survivors able to cope.

Have you ever seen a Tardigrade?
An expedition on a miniscule crusade.
