The Tadigrade represents very important specie in our planet
because it is one
of the unique species who can survive on space. Scientists
have reported their existence in hot springs, on top of the
Himalayas, under 5 m layers of solid ice and in ocean
sediments. Many species can be found in a milder environment
like lakes, ponds and meadows, others prefer stone walls and
roofs.

Conclusion: We dont really care about how important it is to

know organisms that exists in this world ,also we can see that
in these organism or animals we can found cells that
compound the function of the body of each organism.
