Tardigrade

It’s a slow walker despite its eight legs
but coping with extremes it can do best
It can take six times the pressure in the deepest ocean trench
It even survives the vacuum of space, where we have no chance
This life form exists everywhere
Consider this a serenade
for a die-hard little critter named Tardigrade
This microscopic invertebrate
is nearly impossible to exterminate
Consider this a serenade
for a die-hard little critter named Tardigrade
This microscopic invertebrate
is nearly impossible to exterminate
Not affected by full exposure to the sun
It’s immune to shots with heavy ions or a gamma ray gun
Heat it, or freeze it close to absolute zero: it survives
cryptobiotic for decades, from a deathlike state it revives
It’s hard to find a more resilient kind
