Water Bear
Hysibius sp.
Water Bears, aka Tardigrades, are microscopic creatures that mostly live in wet grains of sand or on plants in fresh water. They're less than 0.05 inches long and eat plants. During dry seasons, water bears shrivel up and remain dormant until moisture returns. They can remain dormant for over one hundred years. It would be all too wonderful if they were the size of Grizzly Bears. It seems like large water bears would be fun to have around.
