Dessicated water bear,coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Water bears (tardigrades) are tiny invertebrates that live in aquatic and semi-aquatic habitats. They are found throughout the world,including regions of extreme temperature,such as hot springs,and extreme pressure,such as deep underwater. This water bear was obtained in a suspended state from a cold,icy environment. In dry conditions,tardigrades can enter a cryptobiotic state of dessication to survive. In this state,water bears can survive for up to a decade | |
