@labinthepocket: Get a close-up look at the amazing world of tardigrades with this video captured by our microscope SW380 and iPhone 11 Pro! 🔬📱 In the first half, we show the process of extracting a moss sample and in the second half, we observe a tardigrade flipping and flopping around through the microscope. 🌳 🐻 These cute and resilient micro-animals, also known as water bears, are known for their ability to survive extreme environments and prolonged periods of dehydration (see: Nelson et al. 2017, Guidetti et al. 2016, Ferrer-Paris et al. 2019). 💦 Who knew moss could be such a fun playground for these acrobatic creatures?
