Tardigrade anatomy [3]. Tardigrades have a short plump body with four pairs of hollow unjointed legs. Most range from 0.1 to 0.5 mm (0.004 to 0.02 in) in length, although the largest species may reach 1.3 mm (0.051 in).
The space vacuum did not much affect egg-laying in either R. coronifer or M. tardigradum, whereas UV radiation reduced egg-laying in M. tardigradum. [21] In 2011, tardigrades went on the International Space Station STS-134, [22] showing that they could survive microgravity and cosmic radiation, [23] [24] and should be suitable model organisms ...
Tardigrades are known to exist in almost every biome on the earth. There are terrestrial species, marine species, and even fresh water species have been found. [4] The eight currently recognized species in the genus Bertolanius Özdikmen have a wide distribution ranging from colder arctic areas, including Norway and Sweden, to more temperate regions like the Mediterranean.

Not all studies support the monophyly of Panarthropoda, [11] but most do, including neuroanatomical, [12] phylogenomic [10] [13] [14] and palaeontological [15] [4] [5] [6] studies. At least a close relationship between onychophorans and arthropods is widely agreed upon, but the position of tardigrades is more controversial. [16]

A pet-raising simulation (sometimes called virtual pets or digital pets [1]) is a video game that focuses on the care, raising, breeding or exhibition of simulated animals. These games are software implementations of digital pets. Such games are described as a sub-class of life simulation game.
Richtersius is a monospecific genus of tardigrades in the family Richtersiidae; its sole species is Richtersius coronifer. [1] [2] [3] R. coronifer is one of two species of tardigrade that have been shown to survive and continue reproducing after exposure to outer space, specifically in the thermosphere at 258–281 km above sea level with ionizing solar and galactic cosmic radiation for 10 ...
