I freaking love water bears. These are some very stylized drawings of water bears. (tardigrade for it’s scientific name)

1. The water bear catching and hugging a molecule of water. While they are not actually small enough to hold a water molecule it’s still a cute thought

2. A water bear flailing around and enjoying its self

3. Just lounging around not caring.

If you don’t know what a water bear is; they are microscopic creatures that live in damp places but are able to dis spell all the water from their bodies to be able to survive extremely high and low temperatures, high amounts of radiation, as well as survive the vacuum of space.

Here’s what they really look like:
