The Hunt for Water Bears, Tardigrades, or Moss Piglets

Hi, welcome back to Land & Sea. Today we brave the wilderness and go on the search for water bears, also known as moss piglets or tardigrades. They are found everywhere in nature, but I take a deep look at moss, their favorite habitat. Along the way, I also encounter other microscopic animals. These include bdelloid rotifers, protozoa, and nematodes. In our search for these microscopic animals we use various equipment. If you would like to buy any please use my affiliate links.
