Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 527.3 Hz, 13 cents sharp of C5. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it
Tardigrades, or water bears, are tiny animals, most about half a millimeter long, with a plump body and eight stubby legs that end in claws. They live all over the world, in moss, soil, ponds and the sea.
When their home dries out, they pull in their legs, curl into a dry little ball called a tun and wait, sometimes for years, until water brings them back. In 2007 some were even taken into space on the outside of a satellite, and a few came back alive. Tap it and it wiggles its body and legs.
