Summary
Tiny but tough, the Andean leaf-eared mouse lives atop volcanoes nearly 7,000 meters high—where oxygen is thin, temperatures plunge, and humans struggle. Yet this little mammal thrives, even eating toxic plants. Scientists discovered its secret: super-efficient mitochondria in its muscles that generate heat with minimal oxygen, letting it shiver its way through extreme cold. Genetic adaptations also let it digest poison. This pint-sized powerhouse proves evolution’s genius: life finds a way, even on Earth’s most hostile peaks.
