And You Thought Fish Were Fun! 51

well scientist thought these fish and invertebrates were until, one of the Antarctic's ice fish, which can withstand temperatures that freeze the blood of all other types of fish, it was found out that they live in both the Arctic and Antarctic seas, at least 235 types of cold-loving creatures have been discovered thriving at the bottom of the seas, puzzling scientists about how they got to both ends of the earth,

'The Arctic and Antarctic are much more alike than we thought,' senior scientist of the census Ron O'Dor said, genetic studies were being carried out to confirm that the 235 species were identical, among theories were that larvae of some species could be swept northwards from Antarctica by chill currents along the deep floor of the Atlantic Ocean -- away from warm surface waters in the tropics that would kill them, 'The most likely direction is from the Antarctic.' but he said scientists were yet to discover cold-loving species in the depths near the equator that would back up the theory.
