Outside penguins the water bear is my favorite species of life. You want to talk about being a tough cookie.

Tardigrades are not a 'species of animal'.

You should rewatch the video - it never describes them as a species. Tardigrades are a phylum, comprising a whole lot (I think well over 1000) different species.

Since one of your mantras seems to be ‘humans are all the same species’, I thought you would have known this.

And as tough as they are, a tardigrade would never win a fight with a camel.

Damn, you got me. In all seriousness, my current cat is my best friend.

Ok so my list now are in order.

#1  Cats
#2  Water Bears
#3 Penguins, and not the movie "Batman" ilk.

Yeah, penguins are cool. They never cheat at cards or take the last cheese puff while you’re reaching for it.

DID YOU  even look at the title of the video "Tardigrades are the toughest animal on earth........" 

THEIR TITLE, NOT MINE.

And as far as fights with other life, Tardigrades have survived all 5 mass extinction events in evolutionary history. I doubt camels, much less humans can do the same.

I didn’t say they’re not animals (they are). I said they’re not a species of animal. ‘Tardigrada’ is a phylum, not a species.

Everything alive survived the last five extinction events.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
