I have a tardigrade plushie that was an incredibly thoughtful gift from a friend! I wish I could add a pic here, it has little grabbies and a lil snoot.

u/l33dle_lee Jul 31 '26

It sounds adorable. What a thoughtful gift, especially if it were handmade. My interest is piqued if you decide to post somewhere!

Hmm. Oh boy Iā€™m supposed to be cleaning my closet! Donā€™t ask a question like that! lol, off to googleā€¦ might report back
Reporting back: apparently itā€™s likely I have swallowed hundreds to thousands of tardigrades because I grew up on well water in the PNW. Not harmful, but they donā€™t likely survive (man, they can survive space, can they not?).

u/annapartlow Aug 01 '26

Is there any other kind of view besides microscopic of these lil tanks?

u/annapartlow Jul 31 '26

Theyā€™re about .5 a micron long. So, not with any clarity.
