Description

The Waterbear Plush is a fun, soft, and educational representation of the extraordinary tardigrade, also known as the "water bear." This microscopic creature is famous for its incredible ability to survive extreme environments, including outer space, freezing temperatures, and boiling water. Now, you can bring this amazing little survivor into your world with a plush version that’s just as resilient, but much softer and cuddlier!

 

One of the most fascinating lifeforms on Earth is the common tardigrade, or technically speaking, “slow walker.” Typically found most anywhere, waterbears love a nice patch of moss. Indeed, they are also known as “moss piglets”. This smallest bear in the world can hibernate for decades before coming back to life! They can even survive in the vacuum of outer space! Plush from all new materials. Stuffed with polyester fiber fill. Surface washable: sponge with water & soap, air dry. Each plush microbe includes a printed card with fun, educational and fascinating facts.

Made from high-quality, ultra-soft fabric, the Waterbear Plush is designed to be huggable, durable, and visually charming. It features the water bear’s iconic round body and eight legs, carefully stitched with vibrant colors and intricate details. Its whimsical design brings this fascinating microorganism to life, making it not only a great cuddle buddy but also an educational tool. Whether you're a biology enthusiast, a student learning about microorganisms, or simply someone who appreciates quirky, unique gifts, the Waterbear Plush is a perfect choice.

This plush is more than just adorable—it's a conversation starter! It’s ideal for classrooms, science-themed gifts, or as a fun addition to your collection of nature-inspired items. Plus, it’s a great way to introduce children and adults alike to the wonders of the microscopic world and the incredible survival skills of the tardigrade.

Don’t miss out on adding this fun and educational plush to your collection. Order your Waterbear Plush today and celebrate the resilience and wonder of one of nature’s toughest creatures!
