Diverse and colorful appearance of creatures can not only please human eyes and spirit, but also an indicator of human well-being and a key to future sustainability.
Recent studies indicated that some animals, breaking taxonomical boundaries, develop various ways to obtain energy for living, or drive particular functions and mechanisms.

From the perspectives of human being, it is difficult to imagine that the life can thrive in the harsh environments of the Earth.
Extremophiles refers to the active life can survive in extreme environments, including extreme temperatures (cold and hot) and pH values (acid and alkaline), high salinity, high radiation, hypoxia, heavy metal concentrations, etc. While exploring outer space, their super powers can come in handy.

Animal eyes are key sensory organs for survival. Since the Cambrian trilobite compound eye fossils traced up to 500 million years ago, animals have shown us diverse eye types along the evolution. One animal may equip two, four, eight, or even 24 eyes on them. The ways animals sensing the world are sometimes beyond our imagination.
