The biggest adults may reach a body length of 1.5 mm (0.059 in), the smallest tardigrades may be smaller than 0.05 mm, they may be viewed under a microscope. Has been sighted from mountaintops to the deep sea, from tropical rain forests to the Antarctic. Can survive in extreme environments. Withstand temperatures from just above absolute zero to well above the boiling point of water (100 °C), pressures about six times greater than those found in the deepest ocean trenches, ionizing radiation at doses hundreds of times higher than the lethal dose for a human, and the vacuum of outer space. They can go without food or water suspending their metabolism and going into a state of cryptobiosis (dehydrated state) for nearly 10 years!!! :o
