Isohypsibius is a genus of water bear or moss piglet, a tardigrade in the class Eutardigrada.[1] The length of an isohypsibius tardigrade ranges from 0.1 millimeters to 1.5 millimeters. In addition to eating algae and plant cells, tardigrades also consume insect larvae and even other tardigrades. They live in a lot of places, like damp wooded areas with moss, lichens, leaf litter, and dirt. These animals can also be found in natural lakes and ponds.
