Camel: Adapted to desert environments, camels can withstand extreme temperatures and water scarcity due to their ability to store fat in their humps and conserve water through efficient sweating and urination
Arctic Woolly Bear Caterpillar: Found in the Arctic, these caterpillars freeze solid during winter but survive by producing natural antifreeze proteins that prevent ice crystals from forming inside their cells.
Mantis Shrimp: These marine crustaceans have incredibly complex eyes with 16 color-receptive cones (humans have only three), allowing them to see a wider spectrum of light and detect polarized light.
Tardigrade (Water Bear): Microscopic creatures capable of surviving extreme conditions such as high radiation, vacuum of space, and temperatures ranging from near absolute zero to above boiling.
Antarctic Icefish: These fish lack hemoglobin and red blood cells but have clear blood that carries oxygen more efficiently in cold, oxygen-rich waters.
Spotted Hyena: Known for its powerful jaws and social structure, spotted hyenas can eat and digest almost the entire carcass of their prey, including bones and teeth, due to strong stomach acids and digestive enzymes.
Death Valley Pupfish: Found in extremely hot and saline environments of Death Valley, these fish have adapted to survive in water temperatures up to 116°F (47°C) and salinity levels that would be lethal to most other fish species.
Axolotl: These aquatic salamanders retain larval features into adulthood, including external gills, and have an incredible ability to regenerate lost limbs, organs, and even parts of their brain and spinal cord.
