Tardigrades (“water bears”) do not ingest microplastics, according to a new survey of similarly sized invertebrates on the coast of Brazil. All other species in the study did consume microplastics.

The new episode of Ologies was great!
Tardigrades know what’s good and what’s not. Super intelligent hyperspacecreatures!
If everything else fails, these guys will thrive on earth.
Such a discerning palate!
I believe in science but I bet those mthfkers ingest microplastic and just get rid of it completely with no trace of it.
So what? Future water treatment plants will have a water bear bath?
