Paperback. Zustand: Fair. What are tardigrades? Where do they live? What temperatures can they withstand? Did they really survive the vacuum of space? You no longer have to do a time consuming web search to find the answers.Get the facts about tardigrades all in one place - the Tardigrade Quiz and Fact Book. What's nice about this book is that learning is fun because a quiz helps your memory retain information.
