Default LIFE ON VENUS EXISTS!!!

Exobiology is the theortical examination of different possibilities of
life. Even here on Earth life exists in many different environments.
Creatures exist in 300 deg. F. hot ocean springs, for instance. Snow
foxes and polar bears live where the Winters are often -50 deg. F. and,
sometimes, even a little colder than that. Birds fly in the air. Fish
swim in the sea. Worms live in the dirt. Bats like darkness and
caves.

It is entirely possible that Martians may have adapted to CO2,
breathing it as easily as we breathe air. CO2 has two oxygen atoms for
each carbon atom. They may have adapted to low pressure air. This
could also explain their existence in the Columbia Hills where air from
the vast Martian plains would create winds providing a little more air
pressure, at least for brief periods of time. Perhaps their
metabolisms are slower than ours and, relative to us, they move in slow
motion.

Perhaps they have 'secret' caves that provide heat, insulation, and
additional air pressure. They might live off of the dirt itself --
instead of eating each other as we do. We love a good barbeque, but on
Mars they may prefer ice cold CO2 frost.

Protein molecules are very adaptable. They probably adapted to Mars,
as well as here on Earth.
