Scientists woke up a 46,000-year-old roundworm from Siberian permafrost

The animal is a previously unknown species that may help researchers unlock secrets of surviving harsh environments.

@adhdeanasl if I woke up after 46000 years and was confined to a lab I'd be pissed js

@Bobblegagger @adhdeanasl

If it woke up NOT in a lab I'd be 10% more freaked out.

@CheapPontoon
Well global warming being what it is I think they'll all wake up pretty soon 👊🤙
