nothing lives in there because of the amount of salt whitch is why it is called the dead sea. It is also the lowest point on earth. 100 meters below sea level.
It got the name The Dead Sea as thetre is so much salt in it that all things die. for example put a live fish in the dead sea and it would die due to the huge amount of salt in it.
