Let's take a look at some of the facts about the tardigrade.
Tardigrades are known to survive some of the odd places like volcano, extreme colds on mountains, ice etc. Some of them are also survived the places with low oxygen. So they appear hardy for the survival. And they are known to be in odd survival places.
Some of the tardigrades sizes are easy to spot and even human eyes can spot them in clear water or water which is suitable for their survival. Like you can find some larger sized with naked eye easily. Some of the micro sized however you have to spot with the compound micro size and that would be easier for small size ones with variety. Yet the 8 legged common sized is easy to spot.
There are some of the references here about how tardigrades can survive in space and stay long enough alive for decades. This shows they are pretty hardy on surviving the harsh environment. And they continue to struggle for survival.
