  1. (If it is not molten, it is not lava, it's rock.)  As of now none are known.  But researchers keep finding "bacteria" living in more and more extreme environments  I will be only mildly surprised to learn that something can survive a dip into lava.


  2. No.

  3. no unless god saved it

  4. hahaha.

    sorry, this made me laugh.

    why don't we throw you in and see.

  5. The short answer is no.

    A theoretical alien life form with some kind of advanced cooling feature could be built like Earth life and might be able to survive intense heat briefly. Non-Earthlike life could have even more fantastic qualities.

    The heat of molten rock is such that the chemicals that make up all known life would break down or denature. Thus, anything would die if it got as ot as molten rock. Now, if some micro-organism or deep sea thermal life was in spore form and inside the interior of a porous object, it might be possible to dip the object in molten rock and pull it out before it got too hot. Then the life might be able to be extracted.

  6. No there isnt any creature that can survive such an occurance. This is because no animal has a tough enough skin or portective cover to be able to withstand the heat of molten lava which exceeds temp. of 1000 degrees fareignheit.

  7. For starters, lava is a very dense liquid and it doesn't act like water does. Unlike what you see in the movies, if some creature were to fall onto lava, it would float on the surface as it burns and not become completely immersed. Whether a lifeform can survive coming into contact with lava depends on how quickly it can get out of it. Situations have occurred where hikers were walking on a lava tube and their feet have broken through through thin crusts of rock and slipped into the lava underneath. If you're wearing sturdy construction boots, they should protect you long enough to get out of the lava without sustaining any serious burns, although the rubber soles will melt and the leather will be scorched beyond repair.

  8. Not any real creature, lava is so hot it instantly burns anything to death. Now if your question was about fantastic creatures sure anything from a fire elementar to superman.
