This is a (Tardigrade). An animal that troubles scientists as it has been found living on the outside surfaces of space stations! It is the only known animal that can live in the vacuum of space that scientists are aware of. Considered to be in the plankton class of animal but has no evolved links to connect it to. The creature has been nicked named (water bear) and can survive 240 degree temperatures and sub zero temperatures beyond the ability of any other creature. Studies have shown that is can also hibernate and go into a dormant stasis to prolong its life to over 100 years! On much further study they are also found every where on earth in mosses and tree barks. A major study is soon to be released on the dozens of types found. They are basically thinking that this is one creature that may have come from space originally millions of years ago, due to the lack of any evolved relative link. An interesting animal that just may be the first Alien to planet Earth via meteorites!
