Premise: Tardigrades ( [ ˈtɑrdᵻˌgreɪd ] also known as water bears , space bears , or moss piglets ) are water-dwelling , eight-legged , segmented micro-animals . Tardigrades are one of the most resilient animals known : they can survive extreme conditions that would be rapidly fatal to nearly all other known life forms . This means that their chances of dying increase the longer they are exposed to the extreme environments , whereas true extremophiles thrive in a physically or geochemically extreme environment that would harm most other organisms .
Hypothesis: Tardigrade are organisms.
