This little critter is known as a water bear or a Tardigrade. They were the first animal demonstrated to be able to survive the vacuum of space. They are virtually indestructible. They can survive even after being blasted with radiation, intense pressures & years of desiccation. Specimens were launched into space by Swedish scientists & they returned unharmed after 8 days.

They may be strong but they sure are ugly. LOL
