Description

Tardigrades are microscopic animals that survive inenvironments that would kill many other animals. Jennifer absolutely loves them and made Maddy a deal. If the YouTube video that mentioned tardigrades received 10 comments, she would have to draw a tardigrade. We got ten comments, and she held up her side of the bargain. Check out the website to see her drawing and listen to this spark to learn about these remarkable animals.
