Thomas Boothby: Meet the tardigrade, the toughest animal on Earth (2017x32)

Fecha de emisión: Mar 21, 2017

Without water, a human can only survive for about 100 hours. But there's a creature so resilient that it can go without it for decades. This 1-millimeter animal can survive both the hottest and coldest environments on earth, and can even withstand high levels of radiation. Thomas Boothby introduces us to the tardigrade, one of the toughest creatures on Earth. [Directed by Boniato Studio, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Erwann Chandon].
