Tardigrade
Tardigrades (), known colloquially as water bears or moss piglets, are a phylum of eight-legged segmented micro-animals. They were first described by the German zoologist Johann August Ephraim Goeze in 1773, who called them Kleiner Wasserbär ("little water bear"). In 1777, the Italian biologist Lazzaro Spallanzani named them Tardigrada (), which means "slow steppers". They have been found in diverse regions of Earth's biospheremountaintops, the deep sea, tropical rainforests, and the Antarctic. Tardigrades are among the most resilient animals known, with individual species able to survive extreme conditions – such as exposure to extreme temperatures, extreme pressures (both high and low), air deprivation, radiation, dehydration, and starvation – that would quickly kill most other known forms of life. Tardigrades have survived exposure to outer space. There are about 1,300 known species in the phylum Tardigrada, a part of the superphylum Ecdysozoa consisting of animals th ...

Acutuncus
''Acutuncus'' is a genus of tardigrades containing a single species, ''Acutuncus antarcticus''. Tardigrades, which are eight-legged micro-animals, are commonly referred to as water bears or moss piglets and are found all over the world in varying extreme habitats. First discovered in 1904 and originally named ''Hypsibius antarcticus'', ''Acutuncus antarcticus'' is the most abundant tardigrade species in Antarctica. Morphology The body size of this species varies from 373.8 - 452.9 µm long, having a smooth cuticle and segmented body that appears white or transparent, and four pairs of legs with claws.Kagoshima, H., Imura, S., & Suzuki, A. C. (2013). “Molecular and morphological analysis of an Antarctic tardigrade, Acutuncus antarcticus”. Journal of Limnology, 72(1s). doi:10.4081/jlimnol.2013.s1.e The intestines may appear green in color, due to a herbivorous diet consisting but not limited to cyanobacteria and green algae.

Eutardigrada
Eutardigrada are a class of tardigrades (Tardigrada) without lateral appendices. Primarily freshwater bound, some species have secondarily gained the ability to live in marine environments (''Halobiotus''). By cryptobiosis many species are able to live temporarily in very dry environments. More than 700 species have been described. The order Apochela consists of only one family, Milnesiidae, with two genera: ''Milnesium'' and ''Limmenius''. ''Milnesium tardigradum'' can be found worldwide and is one of the biggest species among tardigrades (up to 1.4 mm); similar-looking species have been found in Cretaceous amber. The mouth of this predator has a wide opening, so the animal can eat rotifers and larger protist A protist () is any eukaryotic organism (that is, an organism whose cells contain a cell nucleus) that is not an animal, plant, or fungus. While it is likely that protists share a common ancestor (the last eukaryotic common ancestor), the exc ...s. Other eutardi ...

Hypsibius
''Hypsibius'' is a genus of tardigrades in the class Eutardigrada. Genome sequencing The genome of ''Hypsibius dujardini'' has been sequenced. ''Hypsibius dujardini'' has a compact genome and a generation time of about two weeks. It can be cultured indefinitely and cryopreserved. This sequenced strain has been redesignated ''Hypsibius exemplaris'' since 2018. Species The genus includes the following species: * '' Hypsibius allisoni'' Horning, Schuster and Grigarick, 1978 * '' Hypsibius americanus'' (Packard, 1873) * '' Hypsibius antonovae'' (Biserov 1990) * '' Hypsibius arcticus'' (Murray 1907) * '' Hypsibius biscuitiformis'' Bartos, 1960 * '' Hypsibius calcaratus'' Bartos, 1935 * '' Hypsibius camelopardalis'' Ramazzotti and Maucci, 1983 * '' Hypsibius conifer'' Mihelcic, 1938 * ''Hypsibius convergens'' (Urbanowicz, 1925) * ''Hypsibius dujardini'' (Doyère, 1840) * ''Hypsibius exemplaris'' (Gąsiorek, 2018) * '' Hypsibius fuhrmanni'' (Heinis, 1914) * '' Hypsibius giusepperamazz ...
