1. The Tardigrade is almost dead in the cryptobiotic stage, other than the fact that it can revive itself from this state.

3. A few of one species of tardigrade also managed to survive extreme levels of solar radiation.

4. Because there is no water in the body of the Tardigrade while in a cryptobiotic state to aid metabolism, the Tardigrade cannot go through any physical changes (from self) while dehydrated.

5. DID YOU KNOW that if you use the words " Tardigrade " and "Panspermia" in the same sentence, I will instantly murder you?
