how much can a... errr... water... bear?
a helluva lot!
this fucker that looks like it was made by a deranged kid with a vacuum cleaner bag and a large packet of smack is completely serial.
and they are tough mofos too
as my good mate Bob Wikipedia tells it:
"Tardigrades are able to survive in extreme environments that would kill almost any other animal. Some can survive temperatures of close to absolute zero, or 0 Kelvin (−273 °C (−459 °F)),[8] temperatures as high as 151 °C (304 °F), 1,000 times more radiation than other animals,[9] and almost a decade without water.[10] Since 2007, tardigrades have also returned alive from studies in which they have been exposed to the vacuum of space for a few days in low Earth orbit.[11][12] Tardigrades are the first known animal to survive in space."
