"They are apparently the World's Toughest Animal. You can shoot them into space, take them to the deepest ocean depths and let them go, deprive them of air, water, and food for years and they don't care. Send them into the core of nuclear reactor. They'll be fine."

But have they tried throwing them into a z machine? ooh, maybe they're the ones running the machine...

To me, these things look like a cross between a bear, a pig, a piece of ginger, and Freddy Kreuger.

Heterotrophism separates the animals and fungi from plants, and the lack of cell walls in animal cells makes them distinct from fungi. Animals also possess several other unique features. These include interior digestion of food, possession of a digestive tract where hydrolytic enzymes are secreted and digestion takes place, and special cell junctions in their tissues.

jinx is so hot when she gets all science teacher-y on us.

But seriously, thanks for the clarification, I somehow forgot all that.

Even MORE SERIOUSLY: Who would win in a cage match? Tartigrade or BSE Prion?

I see a pay per view opportunity for the cellar...
