Animals fact

Tardigrades have survived exposure to outer space.

The details

Tardigrades, or water bears, are tiny animals under a millimetre long. In 2007 some were sent into low Earth orbit and exposed to the vacuum of space, and some survived and later reproduced. They survive extremes by drying out into a dormant state.
