Marble Empire Tardigrade Plush Waterbear Stuffed Animal Water Bear Sea Creature Plush Toy, 9"

I was over the moon when I discovered one of my 7th grade students is fond of and knowledgeable in Tardigrades! I love love love and am utterly fascinated by these organisms.I couldn’t help but order this for the student. He was sooo excited!! Cute little plushy!! I’d purchase one again. Just plan of fluffing it up as it arrives vacuum sealed.Tickled Biologist/Science Teacher

Neice loved it. Cute and soft!

I bought this little fella for myself – I have severe dental phobia and when my dentist mentioned that one of his other anxious patients brings a little teddy bear to appointments, I decided to try it too. Don't ask how I ended up looking at plush tardigrades instead of teddy bears – that's a question for the algorithm. But I'm so, so glad I did!This is an adorable little plush tardigrade! A perfect size, very velvety to the touch, and absolutely huggable unlike the real thing lol. Since it's cheap I was expecting it to smell plastic-y or something but zero synthetic or smells – a nice surprise. Others have mentioned that the tips of its little claws are very sharp and I agree. Especially if you're giving this to a child but even if you just have it around, do everyone a favor and trim/round off the pointy claws immediately. Other than this very minor, fixable issue, this is a delightful toy and a unique, fun alternative to the usual plush animals to give as gifts. (And it's fun to find out all about tardigrades with your kids!)

What can you say about this stuffed Tardigrade. It’s weird and kind of inappropriate looking. It’s not the highest quality material. The little feet are made of felt, but it is soft.

It's a little smaller than I expected but the recipient liked it. Tardigrades will outlive the human race.
