Tardigrades

These near-microscopic creatures (also known as Water Bears or Moss Piglets) have a protein in their body that protects them from radiation. This protein was tested on human skin and it showed 40% less damage when having an X-ray. The theory here is that these little guys can survive going into a black hole. This of cause, isn't true. The gravity of a black hole will kill even a tardigrade.
