Human does not count. Must be alive not a crashed dead animal. If multiple land in the same journey, they will split by percentage (50% if two, 33% if three resolve, etc)

alive an cared for

does a lot of the work here. random clingers-on (like c elegans or tardigrades) surely don't count then?

@Stralor i assume in a lab setting these would count right, i can remove that line since its vague

@strutheo ah sure in a lab makes sense. but like whatever random tardigrades that were on Armstrong's boots wouldnt

C. Elegans or other nematoad

@JoshuaBartlett Have at it

If snake counts, I vote C.Elegans

Snake

How's it gonna walk? Is this gonna be some sub-species of snake that has legs, or do we really mean 'move itself along the surface'.

@DavidFWatson ill count his little wriggle, 'walk' is just so much more poetic for the title

sold Ṁ0 Ant YES

@strutheo No no, that's fine, it's just that now we've gotta include like... worms. Does C. elegans count? I believe it's already been brought into space for research purposes.

Shoot, some bigger parasites seem plausible as 'animals' that could potentially have wriggled on the moon already!

@DavidFWatson I put up tardigrade assuming slitherers would not count. C. Elegans is a strong choice.
