    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A species of amoeba discovered in California’s Lassen Volcanic National Park can survive and thrive in temperatures that had been considered impossibly high for complex life. Nicknamed the fire amoeba by the researchers who collected it, Incendiamoeba cascadensis can survive in waters heated up to 70°C. However, it only retains the ability to eat and reproduce up to temperatures of 63°C, and it loses the ability to move around above 64°C. Previously, according to Angela Oliverio at Syracuse Univ
