Halophiles are a thing on earth and they live in extremely high salt content areas
- qchris 6y agoI know halophiles typically refer to organisms like bacteria, but one of my personal favourites in that category is the Devil's Hole pupfish, a species found exclusively in Death Valley. They live in water so salty (4x the saline concentration as most other fish) that they actually have to drink the water around them and process the salt internally.
