Extremophiles

Extremophiles are organisms that can tolerate high levels of salt, high pressures, or high temperatures.
There are various examples of extremophiles:
- The angler fish. This fish survives in areas of extreme pressure and darkness, and it is horrific looking.
- The camel. Living in deserts that average temperatures of 40℃, the camel has various adaptations to survive.
- The polar bear. The Arctic averages -40℃ in January.
- Aquifex bacteria can live in hot springs that can reach up to 99℃
- Certain plants can grow in salt marshes, where salt concentrations would be too high for other plants to handle.
