Live in around -2C to 2C. Even after all the years the temperature has stayed the same after all these years. The temperature has stayed consistent, and doesn't seem like it will change anytime soon. ]]> 2018-02-28 18:00:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jlhigh/89iachxyu2jl/wish/236562193 jlhigh https://padlet.com/jlhigh/89iachxyu2jl/wish/236565616 The only known vertebrate to lack hemoglobin as an adult

They are piscivorous(Only eat fish) but also feed on krill

Can consume a fish 50% as big as their whole body

Maximum body lengths are between 25cm and 50cm

They have clear blood

Also, their clear skin helps carry oxygen through the blood vessels. ]]> 2018-02-28 18:06:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jlhigh/89iachxyu2jl/wish/236566795 jlhigh https://padlet.com/jlhigh/89iachxyu2jl/wish/236571882 http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/FamilySummary.php?Family=Channichthyidae

This was not an advantageous adaption for them. It is odd that they evolved under biological and environmental circumstances, which turned out to be a downside in their evolution chain.]]> 2018-02-28 18:22:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jlhigh/89iachxyu2jl/wish/236576573 badasilva https://padlet.com/jlhigh/89iachxyu2jl/wish/236583365 An organism's contribution to the large gene pool of that population by passing on their gene from generation to generation.]]> 2018-02-28 18:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jlhigh/89iachxyu2jl/wish/236583365 badasilva https://padlet.com/jlhigh/89iachxyu2jl/wish/236598910 2018-02-28 18:53:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jlhigh/89iachxyu2jl/wish/236598910 jasonlhigh https://padlet.com/jlhigh/89iachxyu2jl/wish/246145568 2018-03-26 15:39:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jlhigh/89iachxyu2jl/wish/246145568
