@bengoodwin2141 16 дней назад

@@ppsaha1994 That is also true, but it's not like exclusively predation kills tardigrades, and many other microscopic organisms are just as resilient, or more. For example, tardigrades do their drying out trick to survive unfavorable conditions, but other microbes just keep on living normally in those conditions, and the ones that don't have other strategies like forming spores.

I'm honestly surprised there's not more spongivore animals out there, given that sponges are clearly an apocalypse-resistant food source. But, then again, the time scales these mass extinctions occur on are probably too slow and spread out to really push that as a sustained predation strategy.
