They don't die there either; they live there too!

There is a terrible emptiness in space - no oxygen, no water, no air. Some animals on Earth can survive even in the most extreme environments, such as space. In the eyes of scientists, they are a wonder of nature; we have to admit that.

My dear friends and family, I am going to discuss some animals that can survive even in the most hostile environments on Earth. Let's start with the black in the bag.

🚀Tardigrade

This small "water bear" is one of the most tolerant animals on earth. They can survive from boiling water to cold, even in the terrible vacuum of space. They adopt a special sleep-like state - cryptobiosis - through which they can survive for years without eating or drinking. Tardigrades sent into space in 2007 successfully returned alive.

🚀Cockroach

This annoying household animal has an amazing ability - radiation resistance. Cockroach eggs were placed in space under radiation during Russia's Photon-M3 mission, and cockroaches were born from those eggs. Their endurance is so high that they are considered a model for life in space missions.

🚀Nematode Worm

These tiny creatures were part of the Columbia Space Shuttle mission. The nematodes survived the space shuttle disaster. Researchers use them to understand muscle weakness, aging, and genetic changes in space.

🚀Brine Shrimp

These tiny creatures can survive incredibly well, even when completely dry. When their eggs are sent into space, they hatch and give birth to new life. Scientists are exploring the potential of researching artificial ecosystems in space.

🚀Fruit Fly

The fruit fly was the first living organism to set foot in space, before humans, in 1947. Due to their rapid reproduction and genetic diversity, these flies are considered ideal models for studying the effects of space microgravity and radiation.

🚀Fungus

There are certain species of fungi, such as Cryptococcus neoformans and Cladosporium sphaerospermum, that can withstand space radiation. Scientists are now thinking of using these fungi to create radiation-resistant coatings or food sources.

🚀Zebrafish

Zebrafish have become important in space research due to their high similarity to human genes. Their transparent bodies are helpful for scientists' research. Embryos of these fish sent on ISS missions have successfully developed in space, which shows the possibility of life developing in space.
