A Japanese tardigrade named Daisuke Sudo1 celebrates the birth of her 14 children. “Not a big deal”, you may think, and indeed it is not a big deal by itself. But Daisuke was frozen in an ice block for 30 years, and reproduced after that.

There’s a bit more about it on The Asahi Shimbun and BBC websites.
That’s actually a The Asahi Shimbun writer’s name, while the tardigrade is probably not even Japanese.↩
