November 11, 2008, viewing number five yeilded a lot of the same specimens. The one that I spent the majority of my time watching and studying was a tardigrade, or more commonly known as a water bear. I managed to photograph and video one moving around at the bootom of the tank. I also located what appears to be four tardigrade eggs at the bottom of the tank, which looked like they were about to hatch.
