"A piglet wrapped in an enormous duvet" - I'm just sitting at the interview with this fascinating person, suddenly she cries Yabba dabba doo! - her species won the Guardian #Invertebrate Of The Year contest! 🎉 "They are gloriously independent animals. They don’t need us half as much as we need them." theguardian.com/commentisfree/
Should I ask her what she thinks about the article?

The very first drawing of a tardigrade by Goeze in 1773 shows a bear-like creature with 4 pairs of clawed legs.
