Would tardigrades survive on Titan?

[Ontophile]

If Titan's hydrocarbon seas were seeded with tardigrades, would the tardigrades survive and thrive?

 

[Drakkith]

No, the surface temperature is much too cold and there is nothing for them to eat. Tardigrades are only able to survive at the 94 kelvin of Titan's surface in a sort of "hibernation" state and would die after a few days.

Tardigrades require oxygen for respiration - the atmosphere on Titan is primarily nitrogen and methane, with other hydrocarbons. No oxygen as far as is known.

I don't think Tardigrades would survive, but you can always assume a life form which needs liquid methane except water to survive, and needs other chemicals to live.
