How would you like to live at the coldest place on earth, the hottest place on earth, or the darkest, or the driest? Or how about in a jet of boiling water at the bottom of the ocean, where the water pressure is strong enough to crush a freight train? Earth has some pretty extreme environments, but there are creatures who love to live in all of them. In this book you will meet animals, from bears to bacteria, who have evolved amazing skins and cunning ways of surviving heat, cold, and crushing pressure. This book is full of funny illustrations and cartoons and fascinating true science that is weirder than any comic book. See a polar bear naked! Marvel at the amazing twisty thermophiles! And who wins the prize for toughest animal on earth, who can endure being frozen, boiled, poisoned, crushed, vacuumed, zapped with radiation, buried, and can even survive in outer space without a space suit? Read it and find out! (No, it is not a cockroach.)
