You may think this stupid or silly, but I'm serious. Also, these guys make cockroaches and flour beetles look like wimps.

Well, maybe not the water flea, but it can carry the guinea worm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guinea_worm), so...:shock:


Water Flea (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_flea)

Water Bear/Moss piglet/Tardigrade (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardigrade)

Amoeba (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amoeba_%28genus%29)

Paramecium (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramecium)


Which wins out? Which is the most fascinating? Which will become the dominant life-form?:eek:

The information Wikipedia provides is rather weak, so if you want to scour other sites to make your argument stronger, please do so but be sure to link it!:cool:

I'm thinking either paramecia or tardigrade, but I'm stuck. There's a paramecium, iirc, that can survive on the water between two grains of sand...:shock:

And some Moss piglets have actually successfully bred in the vacuum of space!:!:`:shock:

Any takers?
