Milnesium alpigenum is a species of tardigrade that falls under the Tardigrada phylum. Like its taxonomic relatives it is an omnivorous predator that feeds on other small organisms, such as algae, rotifers, and nematodes.[1] M. alpigenum was discovered by Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg in 1853.[2] It is very closely related to Milnesium tardigradum along with many other species from the Milnesium genus.
