A soft plush version of the tardigrade, the microscopic "water bear" known for surviving extreme conditions. It has the real animal's shape: a plump, segmented body and four pairs of stubby legs tipped with claws. It suits science fans, teachers and anyone who likes unusual plush animals rather than standard teddy bears. Few mainstream plush makers offer a tardigrade, so it stands out on novelty more than on size or extras. Buyers rate it highly, and the main caution is that it is a small, simple soft toy, not a large cuddly one.

The tardigrade is a microscopic animal with a plump, segmented body and four pairs of legs tipped with claws. It lives in mosses, lichens, freshwater sediments and other moist places, and is found from mountains and polar regions to the deep sea. It can survive dehydration, freezing, extreme pressure, radiation and the vacuum of space by curling into a dormant form called a tun.
