 Re: Rarely Seen Shark Winds Up At Zoo.
You sure know your stuff Mel.
I was going to mention the whole "we know more about space than we do about our own plantes oceans" but someone already beat me to it 
As for the whole plants/animals thing. Like Mel said, it's the environment of those animals/plants, so they've evolved over millenias to the point where it doesn't affect them. One of the, if not THE, most amazing creatures are Whales. They can dive to depths of hundreds of feet, yet they need to come to the surface to breathe. They can hold their breath for like hours I think. Imagine a human trying to hold their breath for like two or more hours  |
