| Strangely enough, water bears are at the same time among the most unknown and the most fascinating creatures on earth. |
| Many small creatures such as snakes, lizards, weasels and stoats would also live in the hills, and bats would have lived in cliff caves. |
| They are creatures of habit and prefer the odd water vole or sparrow any day to a lamb that is half its size. |
| The waters are also home to minke whales, several seal species, and walruses, among a multitude of other creatures. |
| Other creatures inhabiting the surface film of bog pools are pond skaters, water measurers and water crickets. |
| To take them wantonly, without thought, without necessity, simply for the fun of it, is to wrong creatures whom God loves. |
