Description
Heat of the Hot Springs Runoff by Debra Martz As you can see in the center of this image, the heat is not for all living things. Unfortunately, this creature ventured in too far and could not handle the heat.
The billions of colorful microorganisms lining the hot springs' runoff channels are called extremophiles because they live in conditons that were once thought to be too extreme to host life. Extremophiles that live in hot springs are called thermophiles, heat-loving microorganisms. ("thermo" for heat, "phile" for lover).
