The water bear, an animal that seems of science fiction
When one begins to read the characteristics of this small animal, account occurs from which the water bear is surprising and well it could gain the Earth more resistant animal title.
The Bear of Water, Water Bear, or Tardigrade, is microscopic an invertebrate animal that seems removed from some book of science fiction and, nevertheless, we can find it in any place, even in the back patio of our house.
With a size that varies between 0.1 mm to 1.5 mm, the Water Bear - called thus by its similarity to a bear and because, good, usually they live in humid places - has characteristics that make that the cockroaches, popular by their resistance, seem as weak as, good, we them human beings.
In summary a little that does to them of special to these animalitos:
- The Water Bears can survive being boiled some minutes to more of 150º C.
- They can be congealed during days to temperatures of -200ºC, soon to follow with his life as if nothing.
- They can survive any type of atmospheric pressure. In fact, not long ago, some Water Bears were discovered in a space rocket, trying that can survive at least 10 days of solar radiation and the space emptiness.
- They can enter a state of animation suspended, remaining dehydrated during 10 years. They reduce 85% of corporal water to only 3%, stopping the reproduction and the metabolism.
They do not say to me that these characteristics do not make them be a very special and strange animal
If you like science fiction this it is the book that you hoped, calls STONE HABBAASSI that you can find in Amazon whose summary is an accidental discovery on an ancestral culture in Peru, the Parachutists , is the origin of an interesting story of trips that will lead to the protagonist by three continents, to full places of enchantment where it will have to do against the difficulties which they will be arising, simultaneously follows a way of personal discovery with numerous experiences that will lead to him to an inner growth beyond their imagination. A novel that mixes to equal parts information on the last scientific discoveries in neuroanatomía and psychology, with the millenarian tradition of missing towns.
