      That’s a tricky question – there are lots of animals all over the world, and some have adaptations for really harsh conditions – so for example there are some bacteria that can live without oxygen, frogs that freeze solid to survive the winter in Alaska, and a species of rat that survives without drinking water. It would take something pretty catastrophic to wipe out all life, so I’d like to think that won’t be something we’ll ever see happen.
