Packed with science, this title is a celebration of these chubby, eight-legged, moss dwelling, microscopic creatures that have incredible survival skills. Scientists have frozen tardigrades, boiled them, dried them, and even sent them into space with no air and extreme levels of radiation—and they survived! Discover how scientists are studying tardigrades to learn more about the origins of life on Earth and how their survival skills could be used in human medicine. Using cool, superhero references, fantastic photos, 3D artwork, and microscope imagery, this book is a high-interest, non-fiction read for fans of science, nature, and factual books.
