I understand that tardigrades can live for possibly thousands of years by dehydrating and freezing. Then as they warm up, they rehydrate gradually and, as if by magic, they're alive. Scientists have found really old ones - still alive and ready to be reanimated by warmth and moisture - deep in ice caves. Fascinating stuff!
