Champion In Napping
The tiny tardigrade not only resembles a teddy bear (one of its nicknames is “water bear”), but it is also the world’s best napper. To begin with, these creatures can survive nearly anyplace. They’ve been discovered on the Himalayan peaks and in the ocean’s depths. But there’s more to come. A tardigrade may dehydrate and reduce its metabolism to 0.01 percent of its usual pace in the absence of food or water. They can then rehydrate and continue their business for up to five years. Prepare to have your mind blown whether you think a bear is cool for hibernating through the winter or a frog is amazing for turning itself into a zombie.
