Giant Microbes – Waterbear

GIANTmicrobes® are health & science plush products that make unique gifts for students, scientists, teachers, and anyone with a healthy sense of humor. One of the most fascinating lifeforms on Earth is the common tardigrade, or technically speaking, “slow walker.” Typically found most anywhere, waterbears love a nice patch of moss. Indeed, they are also known as “moss piglets”.

This smallest bear in the world can hibernate for decades before coming back to life! They can even survive in the vacuum of outer space!
