ok not really cham related but they are a creature that some on the forum may find interesting, especially those who are microscopy enabled and would like something interesting to view while waiting for their next fecal float opportunity. cham pathology can be very boring if all of your floats are clean.
tardigrades are very interesting creatures. they were the first creatures to be sent into space because of their unique ability to survive unusually extreme conditions for extended periods of time. some even speculate that they originated from space for the same reason.
creatures from space? i"ll let you decide. rather than posting another massive wall of text the following link can describe them far better than i can, plus it also contains links to some useful microscopy resources. they even have claws, lol.
