The Dead Sea, not so dead?

Question

i found a LIVING worm floating on the surface of the dead sea, is there a possiblity that there is more living creatures in it?

Answer 1

Na, it was probably dead or just pure imagination, maybe a bad hangover..

Answer 2

There are no fish or any kind of swimming, squirming creatures living in or near the water. As a matter of fact, what you'll see on the shores of the Sea is white, crystals of salt covering EVERYTHING. And this is no ordinary table salt, either. The salts found in the Dead Sea are mineral salts, just like you find in the oceans of the world, only in extreme concentrations. The water in the Dead Sea is deadly to living things. Fish accidentally swimming into the waters from one of the several freshwater streams that feed the Sea are killed instantly, their bodies quickly coated with a preserving layer of salt crystals and then tossed onto shore by the wind and waves.

Answer 3

ouch, poor worm. He probably got lost or someone threw it in there. I'm pretty sure he's dead by now ...  

Answer 4

No way, they only call it the Dead Sea because nothing lives in it...the worm was probaly dropped there..but if you left it for a little longer it would die out.

Answer 5

Is dead, nothing can live there
