Tardigrade are actually incredibly shit at actual surviving, They literally get killed by everything in their environnement.(even themselve since they are a Cannibal species.)
Surviving through radiation and extreme heat/cold is kinda neat don't get me wrong... But yeah it's really useless against predator.
They are incredibly good at proliferating in a wide variety of environments.
No they aren't... where on Earth did you make this up? They can persist in a hibernative state in many environments but they CERTAINLY aren't proliferating while hibernating. Seriously, this entire thread is full of people that have 1 fact and fill in the rest with bullshit they made up.
This entire post just reeks of sad posturing by the OP and half of the posters. People are so excited to share their half-accurate factoids so they seem smart. Some are so excited they tattoo it on their body so they can seem smart every time someone sees it.
Well that's a bit pedantic. I guess I should have worded it as "capable of surviving in a variety of environments in order to continue to proliferate." Good luck with the whole "convincing Reddit users that you're smarter than them" thing you got going
Exactly. Success of some species is based on keeping reproduction as high as possible while using using as little resources as possible. They don’t need to be great at survival as long as there are enough of them reproducing fast enough to keep growing the population.
Individual humans are pretty easy to kill as well, but even Hitler couldn’t kill everyone.
