7 days without a head and still walking.Radiation 10x the lethal human dose.They squeeze through cracks the width of a dime.And scientists just proved they eat plastic and turn it into energy. 300 million years. Before dinosaurs. Before flowers. Before trees. Nothing has killed them. Nothing has even slowed them down. The most hated creature on earth might be the most impressive. They share food with their colony, communicate through invisible chemical signals, and shed their entire body six times before they're grown. They run 50 body lengths per second, navigate in total darkness, and carry 40 babies on their back while finding the safest spot to raise them. Most people fall apart after one bad breakup.
