Which animals can survive the most extreme heat? In this video, we compare animals from all around the world based on their heat tolerance, divided into two parts for clarity.
First, we look at Endotherms — warm-blooded animals like mammals and birds that control their own body temperature. Their heat limit is measured by UTNZ (Upper Thermoneutral Zone) — the temperature range where they can stay comfortable without overheating.
Next, we explore Ectotherms — cold-blooded creatures such as reptiles, fish, amphibians, and insects whose body temperature depends on the environment. Their heat tolerance is measured by CTmax (Critical Thermal Maximum) — the highest temperature they can handle before losing vital function.
Watch till the end to see which species top the list of Earth’s most heat-resistant animals — from freezing-tolerant Antarctic cod to desert-living ants that thrive in scorching heat! 🔥
