Today we take stock of the world's most heat-resistant organism, the Pompeii worm.
When it comes to the warmest places and things on our earth, the first thing that comes to mind is the volcano, then the volcano everyone knows, its temperature and power can not be underestimated, in some volcano countries, it is more suffering from volcanic eruptions, hot and hot magma and volcanic ash in the sky have brought great harm to human beings.
Volcanic eruptions
volcanic ash
However, we all know that the temperature of magma in volcanoes is very terrible, if someone accidentally touches it, it will be swallowed up by magma immediately, so for us humans and some other creatures, volcanoes are like our forbidden land, because if you accidentally fall into the volcano, let alone the chance of survival, you may not even find your ashes, it is such a terrible thing but there is an animal that is not afraid of it.
It is the "Pompeii worm" we are talking about today, and it has another name called "bristle", which is usually eight to ten centimeters long, with a furry skin on the surface, which looks a bit like a caterpillar. They use their own secretions to build a slender tube in the wall of the stone tube and live in it. Although seemingly weak, the Pompeii worm is the most heat-tolerant and at the same time the most resistant animal known on Earth. ”

From the outside, the Pompeii worm is inconspicuous, small in size, and dull in color, but it is the most heat-tolerant creature in the world. Pompeii worms live mainly on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean and live in volcanic seismically active zones. No matter how hot the temperature is, the heat wave is unlikely to hurt it for half a point. It's really breathtaking.

In addition, Pompeii worms are plagued by toxins while withstanding unimaginable pressures on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. But the Pompeii worm is also a Baidu inviolable creature, and it can still survive freely in a toxin-diffuse environment. This creature is very peculiar, both resistant to high temperatures and not afraid of any toxins, and has great scientific research value.

But it should be noted that we humans are flesh and blood, and in the face of magma with a temperature altitude of thousands of degrees, there is only one way to avoid it. When there is a volcanic eruption near you, don't take a chance and perform the so-called expedition, when you are really surrounded by magma, you will feel what is called real fear.
