In this blog I like to feature natural wonders great and small, and "small" is certainly the correct word to use this time. One of the most remarkably amazing animals on this planet, and on at least one occasion not on this planet, the Tardigrade, or "Water Bear," is only about one-fourth to one-third the size of a flea. What makes that interesting is the fact that despite it's size, it has a full set of eyes, arms, legs, claws, internal organs, etc..., and is the one of the smallest creatures on earth to be so well developed. It's tiny size, though, is only a very minor thing compared to everything else that makes it so very fascinating.
