I showed this to my mom last night while we were in the ER (she broke her wrist). She was pretty upset that she hurt herself and couldn't stop panicking until I showed her this video. She's a first grade science teacher and absolutely ADORES tardigrades, and this video was super captivating for her, to the point that she was able to calm down and go back feeling less anxious. Thank you so much for making something both informative and fascinating!

Why do people have a weird tendency to personify evolution as if it was an entity that dictates how life should work? I've also seen a similar behavior somewhere else. That is, to say the least, unexpected.

Two things that amazes the most about microbiology: huge unicelular organisms and tiny multicelular organisms. Like, how do they even exists? It's sooo counter-intuitive to me how can there be a multicelular organism with digestive tract and nervous system which is smaller than a single cell.

Fun fact; the largest single cell in the world is an Ostrich's egg. All eggs are a single cell inside their shells.
@Luemm3l 4 жыл бұрын
Well, thats not entirely true. There is a limit to cell size and although technically you could say an ostrich egg is a single egg, it houses the actual living being, which is multicellular, the embryo. It is not an alive, working cell in that regard anymore, just a container doing its duty. Imagine different bird sizes, from hummingbird to osprey. Quite the size difference. Now apply the same to cells and imagine both being single celled creatures.

Thanks for this JTTM. The HD quality of your output is superb and perfect for people to fully realise the extreme magnitude of this whole microscopic environment with such fabulous critters. My favourite has to be the humble moss piglet and one of the many reasons they are able to survive and thrive has to be cryptobiosis, and that they are cannibalistic (they aren't fussy and will eat all their veg) just like spiders, but only in extreme circumstances, not from choice, I don't think anybody would do that, not even a spider.
