  • Unfotunately: Yes :-( It died while I was taking the video, because I didn`t  pay attention to the drop of water he was in. The water vaporized because of the warmth of the microscope lamp and when I noticed it wa to late.

  • This water bear was found in the moss growing on the roof of my garage.

  • @WaterBearFriend That shouldn't kill a Water Bear. Just rehydrate him sometime in the next 100 years or so.

  • very cute =)

  • @WaterBearFriend Haha, that didn't kill him.

  • can you help me? i cant find a tardigrade anywhere in my moss samples!

  • is this underwater???

  • it looks like a minute ferret...

  • @1nuketown they are nicknamed water bears because of the way that they walk (similar to the way a bear walks).

  • @WaterBearFriend it didn't die, when water dries up, they curl up and go into suspended animation, a water bear has been recorded at 120 years without water

  • Has one of these ever actually died?
