Waterbear (Tardigrade) Key Ring - Giant Microbes

A cute, cuddly buddy and an educational aid all in one, this quirky key chain plush makes the perfect gift for yourself, for anyone with an interest in biology, or just a healthy sense of humour! 

One of the most fascinating lifeforms on Earth is the common tardigrade (meaning 'slow walker.') They’re known as water bears because they prefers wet conditions and looks like tiny, microscopic bears.  Waterbears range in size from 0.5-1.5mm and can hibernate for decades before coming back to life. They can even survive in the vacuum of outer space! 

The toy includes brief educational information about the cell on a removable swing tag.

Size: 7.5cm x 4.5cm x 4cm approx without clip.

Giantmicrobes are based on actual microbes, cells, organisms and other critters, only 1,000,000 times actual size!
