Tardigradae animalia minima et ursiforma sunt. Magnitudo max. 1.5 mm, min. 0.15 mm. Pedes: octo (in genere hexapodibus reducti). Systema nervi ventralis est cum gangliis in segmentis omnibus. Tardigradae supervivunt multis rebus adversis: vacuo, temperaturis sub 20 K et super 370 K, radiationibus, et ceteris. Tardigradae in aqua salina vel dulce vivunt. Vivunt in abysso maris sub 4000 m et in summis montibus super 6000 m. Tardigradae, qui in temperaturis sub 20 K se glaciant, superesse possunt ultra 50 annos.
