A Tardigrade (water bear)
Tardigrades, often called water bears or moss piglets, are near-microscopic animals with long, plump bodies and scrunched-up heads. They have eight legs, and hands with four to eight claws on each. While strangely cute, these tiny animals are almost indestructible and can even survive in outer space.
Scientists used dyes to make the internal organs of this tardigrade different colors so we can see them in this image using a microscope
