“Another thing I don't think we talk enough about when talking about tardigrades, is that there are likely upwards of 1000 species of tardigrade! For comparison, there are 6500 mammals... total. ALL MAMMALS. 6500. Tardigrades, over 1000 all by themselves. So, you gotta wonder, in the face of all of these tardigrade species, how do scientists even pick which ones to study? Well, much like how we've got our reasons for the tardigrades we focus on here, they have theirs.“
