The Most Extreme Complex Life in the World

The video explores life in extreme environments, from high altitudes to deep oceans. It discusses how organisms, including microbes, mammals, and fish, adapt to low oxygen levels and high pressure. Examples include yaks, bar-headed geese, and deep-sea creatures like the snailfish. The video highlights the remarkable adaptations that allow life to thrive in these challenging conditions.
