Tardigrade
There are millions of species on our earth, about which scientists still know very little. Every day scientists get to see thousands of new species. Some are very subtle and many are of enormous size. One such micro organism is called Tardigrade. It is also known as water bear. The Tardigrade were discovered in 1773 by a German pastor, Johann August Ephraim Goeze.

Tardigrade Size
This microbe is quite small in size but can be seen by microscope. These living organisms can range in size from 0.05 mm to 1.2 mm. But it has been observed that they are mostly less than 1 mm in size.
Where it found on earth ?
These creatures live everywhere on this earth but their favorite places are sources of water, they are often found in lakes in ponds and in every place where there is water. You should not be surprised to know that they can also be in your water glass. These organisms can survive in any environment and conditions.
Scientists reasearch
Scientists have found in their research that this organism can survive in any kind of temperature (coldest and hottest on earth). These organisms remain alive even at -200 ° C to 150 ° C.
According to the research of scientists, the existence of Tardigrade will last till the sun is over. Scientists believe that Tardigrade will be the last living form on earth and will live longer than humans. They also believed that they can survive in this huge catastrophe. Research also suggests that Tardigrade will live for ten billion years compared to humans.
According to research, Tardigrade can also be alive in those situations and vast ravages that are fatal to other living creatures on earth. For example, asteroids, supernova i.e. explosions in the form of taro, gamma ray explosion etc. This research will strengthen the possibility of Mars and other planets where human life is possible.
Stay alive
These creatures can eat and drink and can remain alive for several thousand years, just keep getting a liquid environment in any way. His amazing talent has caught the attention of scientists like him. In the near future, scientists will be able to make a lot by studying the formation of Tardigrade and its system mechanism.
