Tardigrades (Water Bears)

[Shenuday]

Wonderful! Great video.

[11alb11ino11]

they say that you are what you eat. 1 plate of tardigrades plz

[hotaugust78]

i can see that some of these pics are taken with an SEM and dark phase microscope, what would be better to use, silver or gold for the SEM?

[plushalligator]

WHY IS EVERYONE ASKING IF THEY ARE SAFE TO EAT?

[raydog97]

are they at all dangerous to humans? I mean, if they get inside you, they could do some serious damage considering they can withstand way more than anything they would find inside the human body, and they are omnivorous.

[thecookieeater]

@raydog97 It is likely that they would not survive the acids in your stomach. And if they do, it's likely they'll simply pass through the system.

HE SO CUTE!

[Thadeus95]

So these are like...possibley the begining of life?



[kohzabest]

chuck norris is a tardigrade 

[MrRfd30529]

@kohzabest The only reason tardigrades exist is because Chuck Norris allows them to.

[miserylovescompany73]

Water bears are found inside Kanye West?

[kotonizna]

does it blend?

[RedTailedTuna]

I want to eat it

[RedTailedTuna]

I with I was a Tardigrades

[masorlie]

I suppose that these small ones have brains?

[andmaketherain]

Are they good to eat?

[KrutoyPostowoy]

we must send some billions of those little motherfuckers to mars and watch if they can breed there!

[karenveni]

Kanye West could spice up any biology class.



[kaimialana]

Note: You list a particular species of Tardigrada, but there over one thousand described species and likely many more yet undescribed. It would have been better to simply list the higher classification (Animalia: Ecdyzoa: Tardigrada)

[fasthonda]

Kanye West is a special species known as a Retardigrade.

wenn du wegen pro7 hier bist, daumen hoch :D

[MrBondy123]

@Blackberrypie sorry for the spelling! I put it down below

[MrBondy123]

@Blackberriepie 1st grab a pinch of moss in your yard. 2nd put it in a clear/glass container(small). 3rd put some water in the container ( dont fold it!) 4th put it under a micro scope (low zoom). And have fun with the water bears!

[Blackberrypipe]

what do they eat? how to reproduce it? and how a DNA can withstand the radiation?

[Blackberrypipe]

How or where to get them.. ????

[RedTailedTuna]

I wish I had a Tardigrade

[RedTailedTuna]

if they shed their skin wouldn't that mean they produce more cells???

Just a question

[livingsilver9]

@RedTailedTuna  Hella good question!

[ernesdee2o916]

1:12 what the fuck?

[peopleintrees]

Whoa! Those are cool looking!

[JReyes123]

bad fucking ass i wish i was a tardigrade when the end of the world happens not single fuck would be given that day

[MrAlb0t]

great video btw...

[TheWarpedReality]

Much better than the Animal Planet special!!!! Nicely done!

[JallerD]

What's up with the pictures of Kanye West?

[COTTProductions]

@JallerD

Filler,

I thought it was funny.

[PopeOnArope123]

@COTTProductions  lmfao it was hilarious

[andy7666]

@COTTProductions As did I.. I value the Tardigrade far more than Kanye West!

[studleylee]

@COTTProductions That was funny. hopefully one will eat Kanye and spare us his idiocy.

[Boogieforme]

@COTTProductions Exactly, Yo, I'm real happy for y'all, but the tardigrades is the most resillient creature of all time, OF ALL TIME!

[wasimsworld]

@JallerD I think it's because water bears often get on a big rock, like a stage of some sort and communicate to the rest of the tiny strange creatures by saying something like "Yo Water Bears, I'm really happy for you , I'm going to let you finish but Plankton had one of the best moves of all time...one of the best of all time!""

[etonks]

@JallerD Maybe because he's done so much stupid crap to kill his career yet he keeps coming back...like a bad penny.

[shmiillee]

Wow.
