If you know anything about Zoology, tardigrades are the clear winner.

quote:

Research has found that tardigrades can withstand environments as cold as minus 328 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 200 Celsius) or highs of more than 300 degrees F (148.9 C), according to Smithsonian magazine. They can also survive radiation, boiling liquids, massive amounts of pressure of up to six times the pressure of the deepest part of the ocean and even the vacuum of space without any protection. A 2008 study published in the journal Current Biology found that some species of tardigrade could survive 10 days at low Earth orbit while being exposed to a space vacuum and radiation.

The Duck-billed Platypus:





This chimera-looking creature has a tail like a beaver, a bill like a duck (thus the name, duh!), feet like an otter, eyes like a hagfish (double cones) and is one of the very few mammals that laws eggs, hunts prey through electroclocation and has poison as a defense mechanism.

Some cool animals, but I thought this thread was going to show pictures of protestors or ANTIFA folks...
