The tardigrade genome has been sequenced, and it has the most foreign DNA of any animal.

That is amazing!  The photography was as amazing as the info about the organism.  The whole thing altogether just blows me away.  Thanks, Dennis.

You are right, Bill.  It looks very intimidating.  Thank God it doesn't come in size huge.
