Tardigrade №2

 

Picturesque portrait of a wealthy noble Tardigrade wearing crown and beautiful blue attire. All my tardigrades usually belong to noble and honorable families. It is rare to see a tardigrade without a crown or other attribute of authority. Unless while they are washing or changing clothes.

 

This Tardigrade is posing for a protrait wearing crown and beautiful blue attire with golden collar.

 

  • From WIkipedia: Tardigrades, known colloquially as water bears or moss piglets, are a phylum of eight-legged segmented micro-animals. They were first described by the German zoologist Johann August Ephraim Goeze in 1773, who called them Kleiner Wasserbär ("little water bear"). In 1777, the Italian biologist Lazzaro Spallanzani named them Tardigrada, which means "slow steppers".
