@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?

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.
