What the heck is a Moss Piglet?
Our journal is called MOSS PIGLET because we like the name and the animal, one of the most awesome of creatures.. A moss piglet is a tardigrade (translation: slow stepper); a microscopic animal that usually lives in the water. When they walk, they lumber along; therefore, they are also known as water bears, who feed on lichen and moss. They resemble miniature manatees. Chances are you've ingested a tardigrade or two when chomping on an apple or drinking water. They are the toughest of living things; they can survive the vacuum of space as well as temperatures of 300 degrees Fahrenheit. They can live without water for a year.
And here's another odd fact: when they poop, their stool is one-third the size of their body. Imagine dealing with a two-foot pile of poo in your toilet. You'd need to invest in a bigger plunger.
