Does anyone else find tardigrades mindblowing?

Asked by psychachu (10points) January 22nd, 2017

They can survive at temperatures ranging from -272°c to 150°c.

They can with withstand pressure six times greater than those of the deepest ocean trenches humans have found so far.

They can withstand hundreds of times of the amount of radiation than humans can handle.

They can survive within the vacuum of space (and have).

They can go up to 30 years without needing any form of food or water.

They have been around for millions of years, and seem to possess an absolutely unique life form, unlike any other we have upon Earth.
