The most common creatures to live at high temperatures are bacteria and other such teeny life-forms.
Pompeii worms live near underwater volcano vents and can stand heat up to 80°C. They are the second most heat-resistant complex animal on Earth that we know of, and are second only to Tardigrades.
Tardigrades (also known as moss piglets or water bears) are these tiny critters that spend their time drinking water off of moss hand having more baby tardigrades. They are not known to commonly live in areas of high temperatures, but they are the complex animal with the highest temperature tolerance on Earth (both heat and cold) that we know of today. Tardigrades can survive in temperatures as high as 150 °C and as low as the vacuum of space.

Are reindeer warm or cold blooded?
Reindeer are mammals. Mammals are homeostatic animals which maintain a warm body temperature.
Which two vertebrates groups have a steady body temperature?
Mammals and birds.
What is a hamster's body temperature?
A hamster's body temperature is about the same as a human since they are mammals. A hamster's temperature is 98 degrees Fahrenheit.
Are there any cold-blooded mammals?
No. Mammals are defined as being warm blooded. However, some mammals (such as the vampire bat or the naked mole rat) have inefficient body temperature control, meaning that their body temperature is prone to dropping below optimum temperature.
How do whitetail deer regulate their body temperature in winter?
Their body temperature is controlled by their environment. Mammals are endothermic. Meaning that they control their own body temperature.
What helps mammals that are endotherms?
All mammals are endotherms. They are able to regulate their body temperature and maintain homiostasis. Say the temperature drops to a chilling 30°F, their body will try to keep them warm by staying at a constant temperature.
Are fish different from mammals in that they are ectotherms?
Yes. Fish are ectothermic, commonly referred to as 'cold blooded', because their body temperature depends on their external environment. Mammals are endothermic, or warm-blooded because they can maintain their body temperature.
Are there any cold blooded mammals?
No. Mammals are defined as being warm blooded. However, some mammals (such as the vampire bat or the naked mole rat) have inefficient body temperature control, meaning that their body temperature is prone to dropping below optimum temperature.
Why aren't snakes mammals?
Snakes aren't mammals because they are cold-blooded and covered in scales. Snakes rely on the sun to keep their body temperature regulated. Mammals are warm-blooded and able to more easily regulate their own body temperature.
What is the only ectothermic mammal?
There are mammals that are truly ectothermic. However the naked mole-rat does not regulate its body temperature in typical mammalian fashion and unlike other mammals its body temperature tracks ambient temperatures.
What three things can cause a mammals body temperature to change?
The temperature of the environment, being sick and physical activity
Why do testes in mammals descend into scrotum?
The production of sperm requires a lower temperature than body temperature (in mammals) therefore it is necessary for the testies to be removed from the general mass of the body.
