i want a dog sized one as a domestic robot, and various tools can come from the torso bag as needed.
Looks like someone wearing a costume to disguise as a bacteria :D
Now I can’t unsee it, remind me of those T-rex costumes.
Relevant:
Nope. My neighbor is a tardigrade expert in fact. Retired Marine Biologist Professor.
Do they have a bunch of tardigrades at home? Or marine life in general?
Nope. They are retired and spend lots of vacation time in Cabo. Used to be avid scuba divers.
It makes so much sense for a marine biologist to be an avid scuba diver. As a therapist, when i retire, I will go to Cabo, sit at a café, and people watch. That’s the same thing, right?
I’d say so! I’m pushing 50 and still not sure what I will be when I grow up so who knows what I will do if I ever retire lol.
You still have plenty of time to decide :)
I had no ides their life spans were so short. Technically, can they die of old age in tun form?
If I were a tardigrade I’d move out from home || Why live in the shrubbery when you could have a throne? || Pressure wouldn’t squash me and fire couldn’t burn. || These are the things that I never will learn. ||

No you are not definitely the only one
Aw relevant username
There are dozens of us. Dozens!
It’s wild that the folds in their “skin” seem to have genuine creases even.
I like how they’re wrapped in paper
That’s probably an artefact of the electron microscopy preparation. Irl they’re translucent and they’re even cuter when they move: https://www.shutterstock.com/cs/video/clip-1039663166-tardigrade-high-quality-footage-video-water-bear
