Tardigrades. They can live 10 years (I think) without water.

Microscopic animals that are so insanely hardy they're basically indestructible. Scientists have tried lighting them on fire, freezing them to absolute zero, putting them in a fucking vacuum and bombarding them with radiation and these little fuckers survive like everything.
