How does skin from an animal survive conditions which are well below freezing and pressures greater than anything humans are used to. (Pressures found at the bottom of the ocean.)

They have a layer of blubber just as seals, whales, and penguins found in frigid regions. They must also have a built-in pressure regulating system to withstand the depths. UNFORTUNATELY, it was not enough to protect them from the pressure of our human species.

I thought this was a Anna Nicole question. My bad.
Um...to answer your question...I think they have a natural "antifreeze" in their bodies. I seem to remember Jacques Cousteau doing a show on this back in the 70's. Loved his accent. Cute tooshie, too.
