Tiny but mighty. Meet mother nature's microscopic miracles.
Step into a world where the tiniest creatures hold the biggest secrets. Found in virtually every environment on Earth โ€“ from your couch cushions to the deep sea โ€“ tardigrades are the ultimate endurance artists. These remarkable eight-legged creatures have the uncanny ability to survive the most extreme conditions, even the vacuum of space. Their incredible feats have earned these microscopic animals a cult following and the affectionate nickname "moss piglets."

Moss Piglet takes young audiences on an unforgettable journey. They'll travel from a lava-filled volcano to the moon's shadowy craters, a science lab petri dish to an Arctic icy tundra. Using the physical wonders of puppetry, live video and green screen magic, you'll shrink down to experience hidden wonders teeming just beyond the edges of perception. The tardigrade's story is 600 million years in the making, an epic science tale told on the tiniest of scales.

Moss Piglet proves that even the smallest beings can possess the most extraordinary power.
