If we had to nominate an ambassador to represent the microcosmos, we would have to go with the tardigrade. They’re weird, adorable, and hardy, - a combination of traits that has made them many people’s first entry point into the microcosmos.

The thing that gets me about tardigrades is that they move exactly like other animals - and I just never expected that from something so small. They're like a cross between a newborn kitten and a guineapig ❤

Oh, absofreakinglutely! I have a playlist of this channel that I play to relax and go to sleep to, myself! I've got a few other sciences channels I use the same way, too. 😂 I'll go find the playlist title for the one which the channel has, already, and the channel name for the other one. ☝🏽

@MaryAnnNytowl Жыл бұрын

*Historical Geology with Dr. Chris White* is the first science channel. He has all his stuff in playlists of time periods, like Hadrian or Cenezoic. His voice is as relaxing to me as Hank's is. Also, I use the _Systematic Classification of Life_ playlist by Aron Ra in the same way. They're both really relaxing to me, as well. Well, if you don't like Metal, the outro music Aron uses might be a bit of a shock. 😄 But that's just one of the many, many types of music I love, so it's not a bit of problem for me. 😊

They seem pretty big to be the ambassadors of all microscopic life, but maybe their relative largeness makes them accessible enough to interact with in a way required of an "ambassador"

@megamanx466 Жыл бұрын

@@aguyonasiteontheinternet578 Because they're really hardy and oddly cute thus the "water bear" part. I also have liked diatoms since high school marine science class, but I wouldn't call them "an ambassador" in any sense.

@missmarasmenstrualmuffmunc2085 Жыл бұрын

Maybe because they're well known in comparison to other microorganisms and their shape and anatomy is more relatable to the average person. Ambassador was a figure of speech, I don't think anyone is going to attempt conversation.

@brianedwards7142 Жыл бұрын

I watched an episode of "Lloyd of the Flies" (cartoon about a fly and his pillbug bestie) called Hardy Tardy's where they found a tardigrade which to them was hamster sized and thought it died until they found out it was just dehydrated into a cyst. Programmes and books that play with scale (like Land of the Giants and The Borrowers) really grab me.

Tardigrades are soo cool. They make me question everthing we take for granted, like vision. Water bears dont have eyes like organs, but a small light detecting cells. Id like to understand how that correlates to their response to the enviroment. Surley they dont perceve light the way we do, do they? This video is very interseting just from the perspective of novelty. Only four tardigrade species have been observed while the relese of spermatozoa in exuviae.
