Read the passage and answer the questions.
Earth is home to millions of different species. Some can
be very small, like bacteria and viruses, which are so
small that we cannot see them with only our eyes.
By contrast, the largest animal species so far found
on our planet is the blue whale, which can grow
up to almost 30 metres in length and weigh over 130,000
kilos. The toughest species is probably the water bear. This tiny organism
can survive temperatures from 150 ℃ to a below freezing -272 ℃. To
best survive in their environment, each species has developed its own
unique physical characteristics.
Each year, scientists identify around
15,000 new species. However, diversity
on our planet is such, that there are still
millions of species on Earth remaining to be discovered.
1 What species are mentioned and what is special about them?
2 What other unusual life forms do you know of?
1 Two species are mentioned: the blue whale and the water bear.
The blue whale is the largest animal species on earth, which
